Question

Can you move a golf ball in the sand trap i it´s laying in an animal foot print?

Answer 1

no definetly not.

Answer 2

no never ever even if it was laying on a stick you never ever move the golf ball ever

Answer 3

NO.  A "sand trap" is a bunker (with sand in the bottom of it), a bunker is a hazard, and you cannot touch your ball in a hazard without incurring a penalty.  It is a bad break for you referred to in the rules as "a rub of the green", but that is the way it goes.  Just suck it up and knock it close.

Answer 8

You can't move the ball in a hazard, even if it is laying on the corpse of the animal that left the foot print
