A COUPLE OF RULES SITUATIONS – in recent times, I have encountered or been asked about a couple of things that have happened on the course as far as rules are concerned. Here they are and the relevant rule:
14.2b (1) - Who Must Replace Ball
Your ball must be replaced under the Rules only by you or any other person who lifted your ball or caused it to move.
If you play a ball that was replaced in a wrong way or replaced by someone not allowed to do so, you get one penalty stroke.
15.3 - Ball or Ball-Marker Helping or Interfering with Play (a) Ball on Putting Green Helping Play
Rule 15.3a applies only to a ball at rest on the putting green, not anywhere else on the course.
If a player reasonably believes that a ball on the putting green might help anyone’s play (such as by serving as a possible backstop near the hole), the player may:
- Mark the spot of the ball and lift it under Rule 13.1b if it is his or her own ball, or if the ball belongs to another player, require the other player to mark the spot and lift the ball (see Rule 14.1).
- The lifted ball must be replaced on its original spot (see Rule 14.2).
In stroke play only:
- A player who is required to lift a ball may play first instead, and
- If two or more players agree to leave a ball in place to help any player, and that player then makes a stroke with the helping ball left in place, each player who made the agreement gets the general penalty (two penalty strokes).
