Ask Linda #220-Divot moves ball

Dear Linda,

What are the consequences if you take a practice swing on the fairway and take a divot that flies into and moves your golf ball?

Lulu

Dear Lulu,

If you accidentally cause your ball to move, you are penalized one stroke and you must replace the ball [Rule 18-2a].
