Hi Linda,
Is there any penalty for a player that does not remove his ball out the cup but waits for the other players to finish their putt?
Thanks for your advice.
Lou from Belgium
Dear Lou,
No. There is no penalty for leaving your ball in the hole while others have yet to putt. Nor is there a penalty for putting your ball into a hole on top of another player’s ball. However, you should oblige any request from another player to remove your ball from the hole. If another player should inexplicably refuse to remove his ball after a request to do so, feel free to remove it yourself – once a ball is holed it is no longer in play.
Linda
