THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

Ball hidden by leaves in rough, moved by player

Yes, fall is coming and with it will come falling leaves. If while searching for your ball amongst the leaves (outside of a bunker or hazard) you accidentally move your ball, is there a penalty involved? You move your ball in order to remove leaves around your ball, is this permissible or is there a penalty?"

A. "No penalty, replace the ball where it was and play on. No penalty. Obviously mark your ball while clearing the leaves so you can replace it in the correct spot before playing on."

B. "So sorry Charlie, you should have been more careful. Yes, there is a one stroke penalty and you must replace your ball. Tilt, you can not move your ball to clear the leaves. One stroke penalty and you must replace your ball."
