MikeO Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Maybe a bit of a clue is in order: The ball is very visible to the golfer and those playing with him. It landed on a discarded pot of luminous paint, causing the lid to fly off as the can flew through the air depositing its contents on the ball? Beyond that I'm stumped .

MikeO Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Maybe a bit of a clue is in order: The ball is very visible to the golfer and those playing with him. You realise you've been playing a beach ball instead of a golf ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Used the opponent's ball? The golfer's opponent hit his ball into the same bunker. Unfortunately, both golfers use the same brand of ball and neither marked their ball to identify it as theirs. In other words, it was impossible to distinguish which ball in the bunker was which. In this case, both balls are ruled as lost, a stroke is forfeited, and both golfers must return to the tee. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Golf. What is the penalty if you have an air shot while playing the wrong ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Golf. What is the penalty if you have an air shot while playing the wrong ball. Derision at first; then maybe nothing, because you haven't played the wrong ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Derision at first; then maybe nothing, because you haven't played the wrong ball. I believe the technical term is "warm up swing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The NY Yankees are playing a baseball game against the Boston Red Sox. The score is 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth, with three Boston players on base. A fourth Boston player comes to the plate. The Yankees pitcher throws a fastball (no balk), the Red Sox hitter swings and misses, and the umpire rules immediately that Boston have just won the game. What happened?

zequist Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) The NY Yankees are playing a baseball game against the Boston Red Sox. The score is 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth, with three Boston players on base. A fourth Boston player comes to the plate. The Yankees pitcher throws a fastball (no balk), the Red Sox hitter swings and misses, and the umpire rules immediately that Boston have just won the game. What happened? When the batter swung the bat, it either hit the catcher or hit the catcher's glove. The umpire ruled catcher's interference on the pitch, which automatically sends the batter to first base, and since the bases were loaded it advanced the rest of the runners and forced home the winning run. The ball hit him and the rest of the batters walk. A good guess, but a batter can't be awarded first base for a hit-by-pitch if he actually swung at the pitch that hit him. In the case of the scenario presented by Steve, rule 6.05 (f) would be in effect: "A batter is out when he attempts to hit a third strike and the ball touches him."

zequist Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Alright, last guess then. The pitch got stuck in the umpire's mask or equipment. If that's not it, then I am officially stumped.

If that's not it, then I am officially stumped. And there's no better way to learn it! You're correct! The ball was thrown and became stuck in the umpire's mark. Baseball rule 5.09c: "A pitched ball lodges in the umpires or catchers mask or paraphernalia, and remains out of play, runners advance one base."

Cornish Steve Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Here's another obscure rule in football. A few seconds into stoppage time, a defender heads the ball back to his goalie. Even before the latter touches the ball, the referee issues a red card to the defender. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before the latter touches the ball, the referee issues a red card to the defender. Why? It is a free kick to the opposition and heading the ball back is the same as kicking the ball away. Time wasting and as the defender is already on a yellow he geys a second yellow and a red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
