    Question 5 Minute Pop Quiz

    Gerry addresses his ball on the putting green and prepares to make a stroke. His first move is a forward press. During this motion, the club face touches the ball and causes its position to change slightly. Gerry takes his putter away from the ball and steps back. The ball returns to its original position when he removes the putter head from behind the ball. Does Gerry recieve a penalty?

    The time is now 5:17 PM. You have 5 minutes. GO!

    AROOOOOOOOOGAH! Time's up!

    The answer is NO, Gerry does not receive a penalty. The operative term in Rule 18 is "move", meaning to change its position and come to rest in another position. See Decision 18/2 for guidance.

    2sp for being late on the tee. The clock shows you took 8 minutes to produce the answer.
