Linda,
I haven’t bothered you for some time but there is a question
I haven’t been able to precisely find the answer to:
In correctly picking up a ball that is interfering with a
competitor’s shot, I know that it must not be cleaned nor may its lie be
improved, but, as it is replaced, may it be realigned?
Thanks… I very much appreciate all your efforts in educating
the golfing community.
Lou from New Jersey
Dear Lou,
The ball may be realigned when it is replaced. However, if
there is mud on the ball, you may not replace the ball in such a way as to tee
the ball up on the mud [Decision 21/5].
