In the first case, isn't it possible to just play the ball from where it stopped after the accidental touch of a practice swing? (1 stroke either way.)
@@kegginstructure thanks for the view and comment. As shown and talked about in the video, if you play the ball from where it stops and don’t put it back you will incur 2 penalty strokes. 1 penalty stroke if you put the ball back. Hope this helps!
Why isn't the stroke where you made contact with the ball just considered a stroke? How is it playing from the wrong spot? What if I swing like I am trying to hit it and it only goes 5 feet? Isn't that the same thing? I can see if I kick it or otherwise make contact with anything other than my club, but shouldn't a club just be considered a just a regular stroke where you play it where it lies regardless of whether it was intentional or not?
Thanks for the view and comment. Like illustrated in the video according to golf rule 9.4 in the general area if you or your equipment cause a ball to come out of its indentation and into another spot or otherwise move from its original position, you must put the ball back with a 1-stroke penalty. If you don’t put it back you will receive 2 penalty strokes for playing from the wrong spot. This rule applies when taking practice swings and when you address the golf ball as illustrated in the video. This is how the governing bodies of golf have decided to treat these situations.
Just play and have a good time. The other day my wife chipped before I could get to my ball to tap it in-was only about 3 inches from the hole...her ball hit my ball-and it went in. Otherwise, too many of these situations are trivially inconsequenstial. The PGA needs to allow you to move your ball out of a divot.
Good clear instructions as usual
Thanks for the view and comment!!
Great job, as usual! Thank you so much! Hi from Italy 🙂

What if I remove the impediment and the ball DOESN’T move out of it’s originally place but wiggles some?
Thanks for the view and comment. No penalty in that situation as long as it oscillated and stayed within its pitch mark.
Doing a good job will share with others….
Thanks Lamar!

👍
There is a Piebald Horse down the fourth wot eats golf balls,. Hard to believe really
Nice concise summary of different situations. However, if God loved me, my ball would never give me these problems.
