Wind blows my ball into the hole: is it holed?
Your ball lies ten centimetres from the hole and you have not marked it yet. As you walk up to it, the wind blows it into the hole. What is the ruling?
Answer
You have holed out with your last stroke
If the wind moves your ball on the putting green, it depends on whether you had already lifted and replaced it. If you had not, you play from the new spot, which here means not at all: the ball is holed with your last stroke. If you had already replaced it, you would have to put it back on its spot.
