Hi Linda,
What is the ruling for these two scenarios:
1. Fairway: Player A's ball hits Player B's ball
through the fairway. Player B's ball moves sideways. Does Player B play
the ball as it lies or move it back to initial spot?
2. Green: Player B's ball is on the green. Player A hits shot into green but hits and moves Player B's ball. Does Player B return ball to initial spot?
Lulu from Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia
Dear Lulu,
The answer to both questions is the same. Player A will play
her ball as it lies. Player B, whose ball was moved by Player A’s ball in both situations, must
replace the ball. Please review Rule 18-5.
Linda
