Sorry, @Rulesman, fat fingered the pad and sent blank. Point taken. Getting closer to simple ruling/definition then. Insert; obstruction; as other sports identify objects) and the term obstruction. Decision based on the object and the nature of the obstruction. Oh, that's what this discussion was all about. Faced discussions like this dozens of times...not in golf though. :-D.

Technically you can mark it like this right? If you fix the lip and try to place your ball it would fall in? Under rule 20-1, on marking a ball. In that case would it be a

For relief from a ball in or on a movable obstruction, see Rule 24-1b: If the ball lies in or on the obstruction , the ball may be lifted and the

It was ruled a Hole In One. Here's a link to the article.

I have done this before and it was me and my two friends out there. When we came up on the hole we were shocked. I was semi-excited but I know it wasn't a guaranteed hole in one because Ball has to be in the bottom of the cup. So instead of putting the ball on the edge my friends made me spot it a putter length away lipped out and it rolled off the green. Next shot back to the exact same spot where I spotted "The Half a Hole In One" spot then putted it in for a bogey. After the whole was over an ounce to my friends that if that ever happened again if it was in a ruling it should be an automatic birdie no hole-in-one. Definitely the closest thing to a hole-in-one unless the ball gets stuck on top of the Pin.

      Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.

      Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot.

      I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I am going to try to try to have more intent with my shot routines. I saw this process in a YouTube video I watched last night.  Decide what you want to happen - Yardage, shot shape, start line Visualize what you want to happen - Straight forward, but one tip he suggested was while focusing the shot take in a slow deep breath (like 4 seconds in duration), hold for 1 second, then exhale slowly (like 4 seconds again). There is some evidence to show that this rhythmic style of breathing can help in calming heart rate and improving focus.  Feel what you want to happen. - Your 1-2 practice swings. Like if you need to hit your PW at 90%, feeling that.  Commit to what you want to happen on the ball.  Post-shot routine, where you either gain confidence from a good shot or learn from a mistake to foster a growth mentality. - If it was a good shot then give yourself some good vibes/feedback. If the shot didn't turn out, then access why to learn from it. I am going to add, don't get negative.

      I mean, if you like GZ, and would drink it more often during a round than water, then keep drinking that. If you walk 18 holes, on a hot summer day, and drink 2 20-oz waters or 4 20-oz GZ. You will benefit more from the 4 20-oz GZ because it's like 99.99% water, lol. Yea, if flavored water makes you drink more water, then that works better.  I would just monitor the salt intake relative to your own health. I am sure some people might have to be careful. GZ is 280 mg salt. So, 4 of those is over 1000 mg. It is over 4 hours. That is like half the daily recommended intake of salt. You are probably losing some of your salt reserves playing golf. Long winded way of saying, it depends on the person.
