Golf Balls
 
     
 
  • Nothing shall be done to alter the surface character of a ball to change its playing characteristics.
  • Players should mark their ball prior to a round so that easy identification of the ball is possible while on the golf course.
  • If as a result of a stroke a ball comes apart, then the stroke is cancelled and a player must replace that ball without penalty.
  • Mud that collects on a ball after a shot anywhere on the course other than the putting green cannot be removed. On the green, the ball may be cleaned, though the player must place a ball marker by the ball prior to lifting the ball.
