What happens if a player’s ball lands on a wrong green?A wrong green is any green other than the putting green for the hole being played and includes the putting green for all the holes other than the hole being played, a practice chipping and putting green, and the normal putting green for a hole where a temporary putting green is being used. Interference under this Rule (13.1f) exists when any part of the ball touches a wrong green or lies on or in anything (such as a loose impediment or an obstruction) that is inside the edge of the wrong green, or a wrong green physically interferes with the player’s area of intended stance or area of intended swing. Relief must be taken by dropping a ball in the relief area which must be in the same area of the course as where the ball came to rest and can be no closer to the hole. There must be complete relief from all interference by the wrong green. The penalty for a breach of this Rule is the general penalty, loss of hole in match play and two strokes in stroke play.
