THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

Moving loose impediment from path of ball in motion

Larry chipped to the elevated green. His ball fell short and began rolling back down the slope. Larry kicked a branch (loose impediment) out of the bath of the rolling ball. This actually probably resulted in the ball rolling even farther from the green.

One of the foursome said. “Larry, what were you thinking, that’s going to cost you a stroke. You can’t move things out of the path of a ball in motion.”

What if any is the correct penalty?"

A. No penalty. Unless the loose impediment and the ball lie in or touch the same hazard, any loose impediment may be removed without penalty.

B. One stroke penalty, while it is true that any loose impediment may be removed without penalty unless the loose impediment and the ball lie in or touch the same hazard, this is not true if you are removing a loose impediment that lies in the path of a ball in motion.

C. Two stroke penalty, while it is true that any loose impediment may be removed without penalty unless the loose impediment and the ball lie in or touch the same hazard, this is not true if you are removing a loose impediment that lies in the path of a ball in motion.
