See also Decisions 20-1/6.5 and 20-1/7. Thanks for the question. Gail Dear Dave and Hilde,

When a playr lifts his partner’s ball marker, it is a one stroke penalty to the partner as the position of his ball is no longer marked as required by Rule 20-1. See also Decisions 20-1/6.5 and 20-1/7.

Thanks for the question.

I told him it was not my ballmarker and his partner said that it was his. Fortunately, none of the team or individual matches were affected by this action. I assume that a one stroke penalty would be incurred by my opponent's partner, with the ballmarker being replaced, and he would have also conceded their four-ball match. Is this correct?

The other player putts and hits my coin, deflecting his ball but not moving the coin? Does he play it as it lies or gets to replace it to original position?

Your ball in play was moved accidentally by you dropping your club and moving it. This is a 1 stroke penalty and the ball must be replaced. If you play the ball from it's new position, the penalty becomes 2 penalty strokes. See the asterisk note at the end of the penalty statement for Rule 18.

This would be no different tha if the ball were played from 5, 100 or any number of yards away. The ball at rest that was at rest on the green if moved would be replaced and the ball played from off the green would be played as it lies with no penalty to anyone.

Look at the definitions of Line of Play and Line of Putt in the Definitions section at the beginning of the Rules of Golf book.
Thanks for the question.

What if the person putting in stroke play is on the fringe of the green and he putts and hits his another ball? I think you missed something here.
