2 dumb questions
1) I played recently where my ball stuck in its ball mark on the green. Do I lift, repair and replace? Or by some oddity do I have to putt it like that.
2) What is the rule for a plugged ball in the fairway? And the natural follow up: what constitutes plugged? More than half the ball?

Rule 16-1c allows a pitch-mark on the putting green to be repaired at any time.
Therefore, you may lift, repair and replace.

A dropped ball must be re-dropped without penalty if it:
rolls back into the pitch-mark from which it was lifted under Rule 25-2 (embedded ball); See Rule 20-2.
A ball is embedded when any part of the ball is encased in its own depression in the ground.
(ie. If you were to lift the ball, there would be a dent in the ground).
FYI - You cannot repair the pitch mark through the green until AFTER you have dropped. See Rule 13-2.

Thanks. I am also infering from this that if it is imbedded in rough (ie: NOT closely mown area), its tough luck...hit or take an unplayable.

That is correct!
It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.
