What happens when another player plays your ball?The other player has played a wrong ball. She receives the general penalty. In match play she loses the hole. In stroke play she incurs a two stroke penalty and is required to play her own ball. All strokes made with the wrong ball and penalty strokes solely from playing the wrong ball do not count in her score. If she cannot find her ball, she is required to take stroke and distance relief (in addition to the two stroke penalty for playing a wrong ball) and put another ball into play from where she last played her ball.
The player will replace her original ball or another ball on the original spot (which if not known must be estimated.)
If your partner plays your ball as a wrong ball in four-ball, the penalty applies only to the partner.
