Linda,
A weird situation happened today in a casual game with
friends.
We were on the 18th hole I hit my tee shot in the rough. My
ball was easily found and when I hit it for my second shot two balls came out. Another
ball had been imbedded under my ball. It was not visible and when I swung at my
ball I hit the top of it also sending two balls flying. My ball went the 120
yards to the green; the other ball flew about 10 yards.
Would I incur a penalty for hitting the wrong ball?
Would I play my ball as it lies?
I am not sure what the ruling would be. Your help is
appreciated.
Thank you
Lou from Sacramento, California
Dear Lou,
No penalty, and you would play your ball as it lies
[Decision 15/2].
