Foursome playing par 4, we all hit approach shots to green.
Three balls on green and one just off.
The farthest (with hitting rights) is on the green and putts
first, stopping close to hole.
The second to hit is just off the green and hits onto green
hitting the first ball putted.
Is there a penalty and if so what is it and who is it on?
Thanks so much for your reply.
Lou from Florida
Dear Lou,
There is no penalty to anyone when a ball hit from off the green strikes and moves a ball
lying on the green. The moved ball
must be replaced [Rule 18-5]. The ball that was hit from off the green must be
played as it lies [Rule 19-5a].
