I rarely let others actions bother me. It doesn't matter if it's golf , or playing tiddily winks.
I had a second thought the other day.
While pitching to a raised cup the "That Guy" bladed his pitch shot so hard the ball bounced side ways off the raised liner, and stopped about 30' feet away, in a bunker no less. He counted it as a hole out. I made my 3'foot putt to halve the hole.
Now, I know the so called accepted, covid rule, that if the ball touches the raised line, the ball is considered holed.
However, last I checked golf was still a game of honor, and integrity.
I thought to myself, that there was no way I would count that bad of mis-hit good. I'm thinking that there might be something in the rules, that I could use my own rights to make a final decision.
No, I would've taken the higher road, and played out of the bunker after that ricochet rabbit shot. That's just me though.
