A putt is rolling straight toward the hole, but while the ball is still moving, the opponent deliberately places or moves the flagstick into its path, causing the ball to hit the flagstick and bounce away.
In golf, not every shot can be played from a normal standing position. The ball may lie in a difficult spot, forcing the golfer to kneel or sit to make the shot.
A ball lies in the rough — same color, same brand, same number… You think it’s yours and make a stroke. But then you realize it belongs to another player.
In a single stroke, the clubhead accidentally strikes the ball twice in succession. Many golfers think this means two strokes, but the Rules of Golf say otherwise.
