Auric Golffinger Rules of Golf Video

Today Auric Golffinger writes: ”Me and my long time nemesis Jimmy were playing a round. The match went down to the wire and on 18 Jimmy left his putt in the jaws. He went to the hole and jumped up and down and then the ball fell in the hole. Surely that can’t be legal?

Auric, you’re right, Jimmie must have been a bit shaken. If the ball was at rest he incurs a one-shot penalty or loss of hole in match play and must replace the ball. But, if the ball didn’t move, there would have been no penalty.
