Your ball hits another.

If both players are on the green and player A putts and his ball hits player B's ball does player B recieve a penalty for not marking his ball? This came up in our round today at Mountain Creek......good day guys thanks again.

Yeah it was a blast, but I am not taking that stroke since it prevent me from breaking 90, LOL.

Player A gets a two stroke penalty.

See Rule 19-5a.

There is no penalty for *not* marking your ball unless you have been specifically asked to mark it. If nobody asked B to mark his ball, then he incurs no penalty.

A, of course, incurs the penalty for putting his ball into another.

So Pinshark we were both correct. You in assessing a penalty but got the offenders mixed up, and I was correct in the marking of the ball.

If the person B doesn't mark the ball as requested by person A and then person B's ball gets hit by person A's ball.....what's the penalty(s)?

Well thanks for the info everyone. I was of the belief that not marking the ball was a 2 stroke penalty for the player who had the unmarked ball hit. Now I know that it only applies if the person was asked to mark their ball, that makes it a whole new perspective. I mean who would refuse to mark their ball if someone asked anyway.

See Rule 22. B has the option of playing his ball instead of marking. If he doesn't, two stroke penalty.

How did you decide that the player refusing to lift his ball receives a two stroke penalty?

You may want to look at Rule 3-4.

My bad, I messed up the application of 22 with respect to the who is asking to lift.

This came up in a recent round of mine:
Player A hits his approach onto the green. Player B hits his approach onto the green, but it hits A's ball. Does player B incur a penalty?

NO, just replace A's ball as close to the spot it was before getting hit by the ball.
