What is the procedure when a player’s ball played from the putting green strikes a moving ball?The player is required to cancel and replay the stroke. Anytime a ball in motion played from the putting green accidentally hits a person (other than the player or person attending the flagstick), a movable obstruction including a moving ball (other than a ball at rest, a ball marker, the flagstick, or the club used to make the stroke) or an animal (other than an insect) the stroke is cancelled, and the player must replay the stroke. If she fails to replay the stroke, she gets the general penalty.
If the ball accidentally hits the player, the club used to make the stroke, the flagstick attendant, the flagstick, a ball at rest on the putting green, a ball marker, or loose impediment, including an insect, the ball is played as it lies.
