THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

Picking up ball on green before marking ball position

Larry chipped up onto the green leaving himself a 12-foot putt for eagle. In his excitement, he lifted his ball without first marking it, and proceeded his ritual walk around the hole to read the green. Within seconds he recognized his error. Larry immediately went to replace his ball and mark its location. Larry knew approximately where his ball had been located, but, not the exact location.

Scott said, "sorry Larry, that's going to cost you two strokes, one-stroke penalty for lifting the ball without first marking it and one stoke for not replacing it in its exact original spot."

A. Two-stroke penalty, one for not marking the ball before picking it up and one for not be the exact spot to replace the ball on the green.

B. One-stroke penalty, one for not marking the ball before picking it up. Since Larry replaced the ball as close to the original spot to the best of his recollection, there is not an additional penalty.

C. Three-stoke penalty, two for not marking the ball before picking it up and one for replacing the ball in a spot that might not be the exact original spot.

D. No penalty. Larry very quickly replaced his ball in almost the exact spot it had been before he picked it up.
