There is no penalty.  You replace the ball.  The hole has not started until you take a swing at the trying to hit it.

Wierd rule, but as someone who scores games, I understand it.\n\nThe catcher gets credit for a putout on a strikeout. If the catcher doesn't actually catch the ball, there can't really be a putout. The catcher than has to throw the batter out at first base and the person covering first gets the putout. The catcher gets an assist.

obstruction whether it is meant or not. player b awarded an indirect free kick. the time when this rule is most abused(ignored by refs)is when a player is "sheilding" a ball to run out of play.the defender hasn't touched it so its not in his control,and he blatently obstructs a forward from playing the ball with no intention of playing it himself.

Typically this is called a SHANK.\n\nMany golfers consider "the shank" the worst shot in golf. In a shank (if you are right handed) the ball squirts almost straight right from the moment you hit it. The first time it happens, it comes as a complete shock. You were probably winning and/or about to shoot your best round ever, when it happened.\n\nYou were probably playing "a safe" or "no brainer" shot when it happened. It was "the worst" --- "most unexpected" thing that ever happened to you in golf. The scene gets worse because --- you probably shanked your next shot as well.\n\n\nSo what is a shank?\n\nWell technically it is NOT a "golf shot." A golf shot is something a player tries to hit. As far as I know, nobody has ever tried to intentionally hit a shank on the course while competing.\n\nThe shank is the portion or part of an iron where the clubface and hosel meet.\n\nWhen a golfer hits the ball in that area of the clubhead it produces a unwanted ball reaction which is called and widely accepted as a "shank."\n\nOddly, due to it's recessed position the shank rarely makes contact with the ball.\n\nThe reason a shank happens is because the golfer is trying to play a safe shot. They are trying to "push" the golf ball rather than hit it.\n\nIn other sports or games when we play a safety we "push" rather than hit. In baseball for example a "bunt" is a safety of sorts and we "push" or hold the bat rather than "swing it."\n\nIn golf when we "push," we "push" only the grip portion of the club forward and the clubhead lags behind. When that happens the face twists open allowing the hosel area of the iron clubhead to enter the impact area first.\n\nSo in a shank the hands are in front of the ball (as much as 6 to 8 inches) when the clubhead contacts the ball.\n\n\nNow for the second important part, "What do I have to do to get rid of the shank?"\n\nI'm sorry but as far as I know NO ONE has ever gotten rid of "the shank." We may control it and do our best to prevent it but that's the best we can expect.\n\nSo, how do you prevent or avoid them. Well you need to do, "the opposite."\n\n\nTo correct it, you "must" reverse the club's overall position at impact.\n\nIn this case the clubhead "must" now come into the ball (impact area) before the grip portion of the club.\n\nIn a properly hit golf shot, the "grip" portion of the club and the "clubhead" should be in a relatively straight line at impact. Indeed that is our goal, but at this time we need to overcome and reverse our present bad habit.\n\nSo to do the opposite you must get "the clubhead" into the impact area ahead the hands. Picture a pane of glass so big as to cover an area from the back of the ball up to your hands.\n\nIn a shank your hands or the grip portion of the club make the initial contact with the glass breaking the top of the glass first. Now to correct it, you want the clubhead to break the bottom of the glass first.\n\n\nTo do it properly:\n\nFirst --- relax your grip (this is necessary because the wrists must be able to act like hinges and allow the clubhead to pass in front of them).\n\nSecond --- mentally picture the clubhead hitting the bottom of the glass before the hands.\n\nThird --- just let it happen.\n\n\nOnce a golfer knows what they need to do, then the best way to do it is to simply let the body do it for them. I tell my students, "What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve --- "if" you let it."\n\nThe next thing I had my students do was to shank the ball on purpose. That's right, in order to correct anything you must completely understand why it happens. What better way to understand a shank then by intentionally hitting it.\n\nSo for your drill, I want you to intentionally hit three shanks in

Well, if I am playing with friends I would beat the tar out of my buddy who ever-so-kindly parked his cart on my ball.\n\nIn all seriousness though, I believe that falls under rule 13 of the Rules of Golf: Ball Played as it Lies. However, because the cart is a movable obstruction the cart should be moved and played where it lies. However, if the cart were to become inoperable then the player would be due relief.

It's covered under Rule 5.08 of the official MLB rules:\n\n"If a thrown ball accidentally touches a base coach, or a pitched or thrown ball touches an umpire, the ball is alive and in play. However, if the coach interferes with a thrown ball, the runner is out."\n\nSo, play would continue as normal assuming the coach didn't purposely interfere with the ball.

Under a strict interpretation of the rules: yes, you are right.\n\nBut since rules mean only what they are interpreted to mean, and players play knowing the prevailing interpretation: no, because officials allow that extra step.

while facing a delivery if the ball happen to pitch in line with any three stumps and hit the batsman's pad without touching the bat again in line with the stumpsthen he is considered OUT\nin case of a spinner if the ball doesnt pitch in line of the stumps but appears to be hitting the stumps then still the batsman is given OUT\nif the batsman doesnt appear to be hitting a shot and if the ball doesnt pitch in line of the stumps and appears to be hitting the stumps then without any doubt he is given OUT

I have been a chair upmpire for tournaments and the rule states that if your shot bounces on their half of the court and comes back over, it is still a live ball until it bounces on your side of the court.  This is the one instance after it bounces on their side in which a player may reach over the net, as long as they don't touch it, and strike the ball before it bounces on your side of the court.  The player may also run around the net and hit the ball provided that they do not step into your playing surface.  That means if your playing doubles they can only stand and hit the ball from the red or outside of the green.  However, if you are playing singles, your opponent may step into the doubles alley on your side of the court and strike the ball.  If your opponent reaches over the net or runs around it and hits the ball into your net, the point is not over until it bounces twice, and it must hit your playing surface as it comes off the net.  Basically that shot is treated the same as if it hit the top of the net cord.  Chair Umpires were required to learn the rulebook inside and out to gain certification.  I performed those duties a few years back.

Just think of it like baseball. Its the same thing, except you dont swing at the ball with the bat, but instead kick it with you leg. The positions in the outfield are self explanatory(right, center, and left field) and if you catch it out there, they are out. If it rolls to you, just throw it back into play. Have fun!

No! After he contacts the ball, one or both feet can come crashing down on the plate provided neither foot was touching the ground outside the batters box during his hitting of the ball.\n\nMLB rule 6.06\nA batter is out for illegal action when --\n(a) He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batter’s box.\nRule 6.06(a) Comment: If a batter hits a ball fair or foul while out of the batter’s box, he shall be called out. \n\n\nIf a batter, batting from the right side of the plate, steps on home plate to intentionally interfere with the catcher attempting to make a play on his hit ball, the batter will be called out for interference, not because he stepped on home plate but because he caused interference by not running directly to first base.\n\nIf you are asking a trick question, :) the answer is still no, stepping on home plate to complete an inside the park home run is required.

Believe it or not, you loft the ball by hitting down on it.  The initial trajectory is determined by the loft of the club face.  Hitting down on the ball gives it backspin, which will actually make it climb higher in flight.  No part of your divot should be behind the ball.  Ideally, the club should strike the ball and ground simultaneously and the entire divot be in front of where the ball was sitting.\n\nUnless conditions were very severe, I would never try to hit up at a ball, even with a driver and the ball on a tee.  That would impart overspin to the ball, which will make it dive into the ground.  Little ball flight and a lot of roll may be called for against a strong wind on a very dry and bald fairway, but is not the preferred shot shape most of the time.  Swing level with your driver.  Let the clubface put the ball in the air.

I'm not sure what your question is asking.  But you can't move any ball during the course of any game unless there is a scratch in which case you can have "ball on hand" with the white ball.
