If it is the tee shot and this happens, there is no penalty and you can simply replace the ball, and you are still hitting your first shot. If it is a putt or pitch or an approach and you hit the ball accidentally there is a one shot penalty and the ball must be replaced. If it is not replaced and you finish out the hole you will be disqualified for not replacing the ball.
Yes, if you move it without moving the ball. If you move the cup and the ball, then it's a penalty.
No its fail as a kick. However, if the ball is placed by the kicker and when the run up starts the ball falls over the kicker cannot replace the ball the must play it from that point - It would normally be drop kicked over to complete the penalty kick.
There is no penalty if the ball doesn't move, but that seems highly unlikely. If the ball does move you should replace the ball and receive a one stroke penalty.
No, there is no penalty. What you do is replace the ball as close as possible to where it was before it was moved. If the animal runs away with the ball and you cannot get it you simply use another ball, but you must declare this to your playing partners.
Two shot penalty, he must replace his ball and then you must play your own.
There are two scenarios; 1. On the green- If you and your opponent are on the green and he hits you ball and knocks it into the cup, or hits your ball at all, you replace your ball (to as near where it was before it was hit as possible) and he plays his from where it lies, and he shall receive a 2 shot penalty. 2. If your ball is on the green and your opponent is off the green and he hits yours, you replace your ball as near as possible to where you believe your ball was before he hit your ball. There is no penalty.
You shouldn't need to, you should mark your ball with a pen so you can identify it, you should also remember the brand and number of your ball. If you cannot identify your ball without touching it, you should call you opponent/ playing partner over, mark the ball with a tee, then lift the ball and if replace it in the exact place where you found it. You should note, 1. You must not touch your ball without marking it, this will result in a two shot penalty. 2. When you lift your ball you are not allowed to clean it, again this would result in a two shot penalty.
yeah, definitely, even i have
You cannot reset the ball at all without taking a penalty.
Once you have taken the penalty and hit the new ball, you may not hit the old ball again. Play on with the penalty and the new ball.
If another player plays your ball, they receive a two shot penalty and you then replace your ball as near as possible to where it was before they played it. If someone walks past or an animal etc moves it, you simply replace it without penalty, where possible you must get the original ball, if you can not get the original ball, you may replace it with a new one.
