Opponent picked up my ball ball in match play?

[iacas]

I saw post#7. In match play, who cares if a stroke was assessed. The hole was halved. Just another interpretation that makes some of the interpretations stupid. You pick up a marker you concede the putt. Doesn't matter. And there is no replacing the ball when the marker is picked up. What if I say it was a one footer and you say it was a 2 footer. There's no winning that argument.

Seriously, @vangator . You are wrong. Post #7.

Well, you seem content to invent your own rules and  are not prepared to accept the real rules when explained to you.  Not much point in frequenting a rules forum, is there?

Reminds of Mythbusters' Adam Savage once saying, "I reject your reality, and substitute my own!"

I can't tell if you are being flippant, just trying to stir the pot, or you really think you are right.  If a player picks up either the ball or the ball marker of his opponent because of a misunderstanding of the current status of the hole or match, it is not deemed to be a concession under the rules.

Decision 2-4/5 covers the ball marker, Decision 2-4/4 covers the ball.   You do have to replace the ball or marker in some cases as the hole is not always an automatic halve.  The situation under Decision R2-4/5 is an automatic half because of R2-2, which covers  when a player incurs a penalty stroke while his opponent has a putt left for a half.

I didn't realize I wasn't able to comment on the rules. I'll refrain in the future.

You get to comment on the Rules.

You don't get to behave as you have in this and a few other Rules threads, mainly by stating things you know to be untrue. False statements. Lies. Not allowed.
