You know when the other golfer replaces his ball with a coin? What happens if the other guy makes his putt but it bumps into the coin?

While correct that "should" is a recommendation and "must' is a requirement, the real difference is "should" is without penalty and "must" is with penalty. The practical effect is "should" and "must" have equal weight in the ROG. Decision 20-1/16 states that the Note in ROG 20-1 (placing a ker or small coin behind the ball ) is a recommendation of best practice. Any best practice of the USGA is a "must" without penalty in my book. Anytime you are playing in a tournament with serious money or prestige at risk, splitting the "must" and "should" nit is a shit throwing contest waiting to happen.

The ball goes somewhere other than where the golfer likely intended...the first putter should ask the person placing the coin (or other ker) to the left or right so that doesn't happen.

I don't recall anybody ever doing this when the ker is past the hole. Because they don't care if they hit the ker except when the ker messes up the shot.

This fits in perfectly. I was unaware of the rule before hand so instead of a 1 stroke penalty, the player who did not k his ball recieves a 2 stroke penalty. This is only true if (as the rule states) both balls already lie on the putting green. So, during stroke play, k your ball on the green or risk a 2 stroke penalty.

Rule 19-5 is the correct rule: a. At Rest If a player's ball in motion after a stroke is deflected or stopped by a ball in play and at rest, the player must play his ball as it lies. In match play, there is no penalty. In stroke play, there is no penalty unless both balls lay on the putting green prior to the stroke, in which case the player incurs a penalty of two strokes. In the situation I described, both balls were on the putting green prior to my putt. Therefore, the person I was playing with should have palyed his ball where it lied (after it was deflected by my putt), and given himself a 2 stroke penalty.

The original poster can probably be forgiven, because he probably wasn't even thinking about it when he titled his thread. Accidents happen. You, though, are a different matter.

I think the reason for putting down the coin to 'k your ball' is because if your ball was there instead of the coin/ker then you would recieve a 1 stroke penalty. So, I assume that if you play by the rules (which is something that I believe in) then you are only doing what you should do while your ball is on the green (and closer than others in your group) and king your ball. If you k your ball and somebody else hits your ball ker, then that is how the ball rolls. Exactly as the previous poster correclty stated. I learned this while I joined up with another golfer once. He did not k his ball, and I hit his ball with my first putt. I said "what is the rule on that ?" and he replied "that is a penalty on me", but he gave himself an incorrect par after making his putt. I do not know the exact rule, but hopefully somebody else does. I would like to know what the rulebook officially says about this.

Usually the ball changes direction slightly. In rare cases, the coin changes position too. In case you were looking for a useful answer, the ball is played as it lies because nothing in the Rules tells the player to do anything other than that. -- +++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mr. People who use golf as some sort of status Aress symbol are destined to go unfulfilled.
