Community Questions

Stuart and Blakey did a catch up on the most recent Community Questions - these can be found on YouTube, where you can guestimate the answer, and see if you got it right. Some of the questions included searching for a ball in sand, order of play, changing the characteristics of the club, pitch mark off the green, and more.

GRQOTW 136

- Blakey and Stuart are playing each other in a match at Wombat Hills.  As Stuart is preparing to make his 2nd stroke in the general area on the 3rd hole, his ball moves backwards slightly.  Before Stuart can remove his club, the ball comes to rest against the club, which stops it moving.  Blakey is standing close by watching and both players agree that neither Stuart or any outside influence caused the ball to move.  

Just to be sure of what to do next, Blakey calls in a referee.  

What is the ruling?

GRQOTW135: 

A player's ball, played from the putting green, is deflected into the hole by another player's caddie, who accidentally walked across the line of play. The original ball, or another ball, must be replaced on its orginal spot and the stroke must be replayed.

TRUE

The ball has been accidentally deflected on the putting green by another person, so the stroke is cancelled and must be replayed. Rule 11.1
