Dear readers,
Just a reminder that I
will be away from my desk for the rest of the month. Please do not send me any
questions until August 1.
Hi Linda,
In match play both me and my opponent were in the same greenside
bunker. He played first and after his shot stood on my ball making my shot
practically impossible. What should we have done?
Lou from Portugal
Dear Lou,
In match play, other than during search, if your opponent
moves your ball he incurs a one-stroke penalty and the ball must be replaced
[Rule 18-3b]. Since this occurred in a bunker, the original lie must be
restored and the ball must be placed in that lie [Rule 20-3b (iii)].
Linda
