Rub of the Green

A "rub of the green" occurs when a ball in motion is accidentally deflected or stopped by any outside agency (see Rule 19-1).

Outside Agency

An "outside agency" is any agency not part of the match or, in stroke play, not part of the competitor’s side, and includes a referee, a marker, an observer and a forecaddie. Neither wind nor water is an outside agency.

A hazard stake is an obstruction.  A tee marker is an obstruction.  A sprinkler head is an obstruction.  Usually, a 150 yard marker is an obstruction.  These things are never outside agencies.

Hitting an obstruction is not Rub of the Green.  Hitting a tree is not Rub of the Green.  Hitting equipment is not Rub of the Green.  A bad bounce off of a mound in the fairway is not Rub of the Green.  Hitting the flagstick and bouncing off the green is not Rub of the Green.

Spread the word.  Stop the madness.

First rule of Fight Stand: no talking about Fight Stand.
