THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

Ball in fairway deflected by your shot
Two weeks ago, our foursome had an unusual thing happen and none of us knew quite what to do. In the fairway, I took my second stroke and my ball hit someone else’s ball that was in the fairway, resulting in the other person’s ball landing in the rough and mine in the fairway. Do I get penalized and do we just leave the balls where they landed or does the other person move hers back where it was?
