BuffaloBill Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I know that I am by no means an expert on the rules of golf (I just break them at my convenience anyway) but I would hve thought that did not count given it was off another player's ball.

It counts. That's why you mark your ball when you're on the green. But, being purely an accident, it's nowhere as amazing as this bowling shot... link
The Poojer Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 19-5. By Another Ball • a. At Rest If a player’s ball in motion after a stroke is deflected or stopped by a ball in play and at rest, the player must play his ball as it lies. In match play, there is no penalty. In stroke play, there is no penalty unless both balls lay on the putting green prior to the stroke, in which case the player incurs a penalty of two strokes.

linksfiend Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I thought it was going to be Fuzzy Zoeller's that hung up in the rough for 10 seconds before rolling back in
Beerball Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 1. I hope he gave the other player a ride back to the clubhouse. 2. Where does the ricochetee play his ball from? I'm assuming were it finally came to rest?
The Poojer Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 yeah he plays it where it lies....if they both hit from the green and he hit the other ball, then the player that was hit gets to place his ball as close to the original spot as he can...its the person puttings responsibility to ask for a ball to be marked 1. I hope he gave the other player a ride back to the clubhouse. 2. Where does the ricochetee play his ball from? I'm assuming were it finally came to rest?

BuffaloBill Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I thought it was going to be Fuzzy Zoeller's that hung up in the rough for 10 seconds before rolling back in That is wild - I guess he must have had enough backspin on it that it worked itself ot of the rough and then gravity did the rest. That seems nearly impossible.
ricojes Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 It counts. That's why you mark your ball when you're on the green. Don't think I've ever seen anyone tee off and then mark his/her ball before the next tee shot. Although it might be an option, but would take about an hour for a 4 some on a par 3... As far as greatest hole-in-one ever, I wouldn't go that far. Maybe luckiest or most fortunate, but still pretty cool...

ricojes Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 As opposed to all of those other holes-in-one that don't involve luck? Sorry, but the shot is 10 feet from the hole if it doesn't hit the ball. A good shot, yes. But with a lucky bounce, a great shot. I know I can't get the ball to spin like that, I would consider it skill. An average golfer getting a hole in one is probably more luck, but I have to give credit to a pro...
