Ball on Putting Green Helping Play


Rule 15.3a 
Ball on Putting Green Helping Play

 
If a player reasonably believes that a ball on the putting green might help anyone’s play (such as by serving as a possible backstop near the hole), the ball may be marked or the owner of the ball may play first instead.

However, if two players agree to leave a ball in place to help any player and that player then makes a stroke with the helping ball left in place, each player who made the agreement gets the general penalty of two strokes.
 
If the players know that they are not allowed to make such an agreement, but still do it, they are both disqualified under Rule 1.3b for deliberately ignoring Rule  15.3a

The prizes were absolutely amazing.  The mini quiches and coffee after 9 were very much appreciated (and we think that should be a permanent feature!)
