Rules of Golf discussions and meanings •
Exception 2 to 11.1b tells us that if a ball played from the green that accidentally hits any person, animal or moveable obstruction, the stroke does not count and the ball is to be replaced. The
interpretation gives the example of a ball hitting a hole liner pulled up accidentally. What is a hole liner? Is it a moveable obstruction? Last year it was an outside agency, now an outside influence. An outside influence is not part of the exception. What about a small branch dancing across the green with the wind that deflects a ball in motion from the green? The branch is not a person, animal or moveable obstruction. Does the twig deflection equal a replay? It did last year.
