Get a Ruling • Re: Ball Moved on Putting Green
You can add to the Decisions RJM references, the primary statement in Rule 27-1a:Thom wrote:To rule on this question, I would want to know her intent by asking exactly what she was doing. The answer can change the ruling. If and only if she states an intent to play under stroke and distance, I would then ask was the second putt played from precisely where the first putt was played or was it just somewhere fairly close to the original place. If yes and yes, I agree with RJM's answer. If yes and no, 2SP for playing from wrong place. If no to the first question, 2SP under R18-2 for moving ball in play and failing to replace.
Except as otherwise provided in the Rules, if a player makes a stroke at a ball from the spot at which the original ball was last played, he is deemed to have proceeded under penalty of stroke and distance.
