Did you get the answer to last week’s rule?

Dylan’s ball comes to rest against some TV cables running to a nearby scoreboard. Without marking the position of the ball, Dylan moves the cables, causing his ball to move. What is the ruling?

A. Dylan incurs a penalty of one stroke and must play the ball from its new position.
B. Dylan incurs a penalty of one stroke and must replace his ball.
C. There is no penalty and Dylan must replace his ball.

Correct answer:

C.There is no penalty and Dylan must replace his ball.

The TV cables are considered to be movable obstructions. Under Rule 24-2, if the ball does not lie in or on the obstruction, the obstruction may be removed. If the ball moves, it must be replaced, and there is no penalty, provided that the movement of the ball is directly attributable to the removal of the obstruction.
