Laws of Golf Q&A on ball in play and penalties
Innis Brown explains that a ball is in play as soon as it has been dropped and comes to a stop, not when the stroke follows. Penalties arise if a caddie or opponent interferes with a ball in motion, and the five minute search time starts from the player’s own start of the search, not the caddie’s. Readers may send questions for prompt answers.
