In golf, if a ball strikes another ball on the green what is the rule?

Question

Player A is on the green. Player B hits a ball that hits player A's ball.

Answer 1

IF THE SHOT IS FROM THE GREEN, LOSE OF HOLE IN MATCH PLAY... OFF THE GREEN, REPLAY AND MARK BALL ON THE GREEN-ONE STROKE PENALTY!!!

"HIT 'EM STRAIGHT"

Answer 2

Just replace ball A to the spot it was when ball B struck it or as close as possible.

Answer 3

guess it doesnt really matter unless your in a tournament. Just do what you want if your playing with a buddy.

Answer 4

If player B was on the green then it's a 2 stroke penalty for B. Player A puts his ball back and Player B plays it from where B's ball stopped.

If player B was off the green then there is no penalty for either.

Player A puts his ball back and Player B plays it from where B's ball stopped.

Answer 5

the rule is that you have to replace players A ball to the place it was when player B hit it and there is no penalty

Answer 6

it is a 2 stroke penalty for the persons ball that you hit because it is their responsibility to mark their ball.

Answer 7

same answer as before just this time no pants on at all

Answer 8

In stroke play, if both balls are on the green, it is a two stroke penalty for Player B. You should ask Player A to mark his ball before you putt.

If either of the balls was not on the green, there is no penalty.

In match play, there is no penalty in either case.

In both cases, Player A must replace his ball to the spot where it was before the shot. Player B must play his ball as it lies after the shot.

Answer 9

Pretty sure that its technically out of bounds and you have to take another shot, or drop.  Don't quote me.. but that's my guess.
