Linda,
Just to clarify –
If my ball is off the green and I do not ask my opponent,
whose ball is close to mine on the fairway to lift her ball and I strike
her ball, do I incur a penalty shot?
Lulu from Belfast
Dear Lulu,
If the two balls are so close together that it is reasonable
to expect that your stroke will move your opponent’s ball, you will incur a
one-stroke penalty if your stroke moves her ball. Your opponent must replace
her ball [Decision 18-3b/1].
