| Interesting Golf Rulings
1. Situation: Your ball finishes on the green, 15 feet away from the hole. The course is muddy from last night's rain, and so is your ball. Playing winter rules you lift and clean, then replace it. As you walk around the hole to study your putt, the ball, which is lying on a slope, rolls about five feet closer to the hole.
Do you put the ball back, play it in it's new position? Is there a penalty?
2. Situation: You hit your tee shot near the out-of-bounds stakes. One of the stakes has been knocked down by a recent storm. Your ball is in an area that is in bounds if the fallen stake is disregarded, or out of bounds if it is replaced.
Do you pretend the stake was never there, or use the current position of the laid out stake as the new OB marker?
