Entä jos pallon alas tulo on rikkonut reiän reunan. Saako korjata ennen omaa puttia?

Entä jos pallon alas tulo on rikkonut reiän reunan. Saako korjata ennen omaa puttia?

Miten tämä eroaa normaalista alastulojäljen korjaamisesta?

Olipa muuten vallan mainio kysymys, joka ei ole tullut juurikaan esille. Ratkaisu on kyllä yksinkertainen:

If the damage is clearly identifiable as a ball mark, the player may repair it (Rule 16-1c).
If the damage is not clearly identifiable as a ball mark, then:
If the damage is such that the proper dimensions of the hole have not been changed materially, the player should continue play without repairing the hole. If he touches the hole in such circumstances, a breach of Rule 16-1a occurs.
If the proper dimensions of the hole have been changed materially, the player should request the Committee to have the hole repaired. If a Committee Member is not readily available, the player may repair the damage, without penalty.
If a player repairs a materially damaged hole when a Committee Member is readily available, he incurs a penalty for a breach of Rule 16-1a.
