Rule 19: Ball in Motion Deflected or Stopped
This month the AJGA tournament directors attended the 2006 PGA/USGA
Rules of Golf Workshop in Atlanta. This is an annual event for
the AJGA as the tournament directors attempt to achieve the
highest level of rules certification by scoring a 92 or better
on the rules exam, but more importantly the workshop gives the
tournament directors a chance to prepare themselves for the
long tournament season ahead.
There are going to be many golf courses to mark and many more
rulings to help juniors with. For this month’s By the
Book, I have decided to pose one of the tournament directors’
favorite rules questions.
What happens if a player hits a shot from the fairway and the
ball, while in motion on the putting green, is deflected by
a dog running across the green? How should the player proceed?
Would this be any different if the player’s shot was hit
from the green instead of the fairway? Click
here for the answer! |
