long story short, i was playing with a group of women the other day and 2 situations came up which caused a bit of a conundrum concerning rules.
situation 1. par 3hole. golfer hit off tee, the pin had not been placed properly in hole by group ahead of us and her ball, had the pin been placed properly, would have gone in for a hole in one, but stopped dead because pin was laying against that side of the hole. (hole in one or no?) we told her that she should class it as a hole in one, because when the pin was rolled slightly to the side, to see if the ball would indeed fall in, it did.
2nd situation par 5, (although par of hole does not matter), golfer hit ball up on to the green and into the hole, for a par. the rest of the group, chiped up onto the green, 1st ball and pin were still in hole and a ball was putted into hole and bounced back out. (does this count as a penalty to the person who left the ball in the hole while others were putting, or does it count as a penalty to one who putted in second?
anyone know the rulings on these two situations.
