    Ball Lands on Wrong Green

    What's the call / procedure / penalty when your ball lands on a green other than yours where it is not marked out of bounds and you have a shot at your green?

    This happened to a friend of mine today...he lifted, took no penalty but we both were unsure as to what really to do...

    25-3. Wrong Putting Green

    a. Interference

    Interference by a wrong putting green occurs when a ball is on the wrong putting green.

    Interference to a player's stance or the area of his intended swing is not, of itself, interference under this Rule.

    b. Relief

    If a player's ball lies on a wrong putting green, he must not play the ball as it lies. He must take relief, without penalty, as follows:

    The player must lift the ball and drop it within one club-length of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief. The nearest point of relief must not be in a hazard or on a putting green. When dropping the ball within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, the ball must first strike a part of the course at a spot that avoids interference by the wrong putting green and is not in a hazard and not on a putting green. The ball may be cleaned when lifted under this Rule.

    In order to prevent divots being taken from the fringe or apron of a wrong putting green, the golf club can also make a local rule that a wrong putting green includes the apron and relief MUST be taken from both. D 33-8/33
