    Partner's ball lands on my ball in bunker

    Took us a while to figure out where my ball went, but Jeff's landed right on top of mine and totally buried it. What's the ruling?

    Rule 18-5 does not explicitly indicate what to do in the event this happens in a hazard, so I assume you would get to recreate the lie and replace the ball.

    I think that situation is covered by 20-3b. You need to recreate the lie and replace the ball.

    The question I have is whether you recreate the buried lie or the lie before the ball struck it.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    Jeff may ask for your ball to be moved under 22-2. He should then recreate the lie and play. You should recreate the lie you had before Jeff's ball hit yours and replace it.
