THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

Ball lands in hole and bounces out

"Larry's tee shot on the 170 yard par 3 was lousy, but his 50 yard chip was inspired. The ball sailed straight into the hole but then bounced out. Larry got very excited with his Birdie 2. The rules czar in our foursome said, “Not so fast, the ball is still in play. ""Larry said, “No way, once a ball hits the bottom of the cup, the ball is holed. What is the correct ruling?"

A. Ball is holed! Larry gets his Birdie. Larry is right, a ball is holed the second the entire ball falls below the lip of the cup, which would obviously be the case if the ball hit the bottom of the cup and subsequently bounced out.

B. Ball is not holed. Larry will be putting for par. Larry was incorrect. A ball is not holed just because it fell in the hole. If it bounces out it is still in play
