Linda,
If a ball putted on the green and still moving is deflected
by a blowing leaf, how is it played?
Thank you.
Lou from Texas
Dear Lou,
When a ball in motion on a putting green is deflected by a moving or animate outside agency, cancel the stroke, replace your ball, and replay [Rule 19-1b].
If the same thing were to happen to a ball in motion that is
not on the putting green, you must play the ball as it lies. This is what is
known as a “rub of the green.”
Linda
