Golf Rule Questions 2009 - Question 5
A player plays a stroke on the putting green and, while the ball is still in motion,
it is picked up and carried away by a dog and dropped next to the hole. What is the ruling?

You said The stroke counts and the ball must be played as it lies. the correct answer was The stroke is cancelled and the ball must be replaced. You were......WRONG
See Decision 19- 1 / 7 Ball Picked Up or Deflected by Dog on Putting Green After Stroke on Green"

[The following has been copied from the RCGA website. - link is below]

19-1. By Outside Agency
If a ball in motion is accidentally deflected or stopped by any outside agency, it is a rub of the green, there is no penalty and the ball must be played as it lies except:

a. If a ball in motion after a stroke other than on the putting green comes to rest in or on any moving or animate outside agency, the player must, through the green or in a hazard, drop the ball, or on the putting green place the ball, as near as possible to the spot where the outside agency was when the ball came to rest in or on it, and
b. If a ball in motion after a stroke on the putting green is deflected or stopped by, or comes to rest in or on, any moving or animate outside agency except a worm or an insect, the stroke is canceled. The ball must be replaced and the stroke replayed.

If the ball is not immediately recoverable, another ball may be substituted.

(Player’s ball deflected or stopped by another ball — see Rule 19-5.)

Note: If the referee or the Committee determines that a player’s ball has been purposely deflected or stopped by an outside agency, Rule 1-4 applies to the player. If the outside agency is a fellow-competitor or his caddie, Rule 1-2 applies to the fellow-competitor.
