ETIQUETTE On the Putting Green
On the putting green, players should not stand on another
player's line of putt or, when he is making a stroke,
cast a shadow over his line of putt.
REVIEW OF RULE 11--12 - 2 Identifying Ball
- The responsibility for playing the proper ball rests
with the player. Each player should put an identification
mark on his ball.
- If a player has reason to believe a ball at rest is
his and it is necessary to lift the ball in order to
identify it, he may lift the ball without penalty, in
order to do so.
- Before lifting the ball, the player must announce
his intention to his opponent in match play or his marker
or a fellow competitor in stroke play and mark the position
of the ball. He may then lift the ball and identity
it, provided that he gives his opponent, marker or fellow-competitor
an opportunity to observe the lifting and replacement.
The ball must not be cleaned beyond the extent necessary
for identification when lifted under Rule 12-2.
- If the ball is the player's ball and he fails to comply
with all or any part of this procedure, or he lifts
his ball in order to identify it when not necessary
to do so, he incurs a penalty
of one stroke.
