• Know the Golf Rules?

 Is it a penalty if your ball is accidentally moved?

1.searching - If you or your opponent move the ball whilst looking for it, no penalty. (7.4) However, if it gets moved before the search, it is one penalty stroke (9.4 b) 

2. loose impediments - one penalty stroke if the ball moves (15.1b)

3. on the putting green - no penalty, no matter how it happened (13.1d)

4. practice swing -one penalty stroke (9.4)

5. falling off the tee when you are about to swing, no penalty (6.2b 5)

6. movable obstruction e.g. bunker rake, towel, no penalty (15.2a)

In all situations, replace the ball to where it was. Failure to do so, and playing from the wrong place will incur the general penalty of 2 strokes (14.7a)
