I went into the rough the other day and my ball was clearly
visible lying on top of flattened grass. Naturally I had to avoid grounding
my club, as the ball would have moved. I proceeded to hit my ball and it came
out of the rough along with a second ball which was hidden beneath mine! What
penalty if any is applicable? Thanks in advance.

Dear Lou,
There is no penalty when you hit your own ball and your
stroke dislodges a ball that was hidden beneath yours [Decision 15/2].
