    Moveable object

    I recently played a round with my nephew. He hit a tee shot which was rolling towards a water hazard which also was where 2 ducks happened to be standing. His ball rolled under one of the ducks who squatted on the ball & stopped it's forward progress about 6 inches from dropping into the water. Had the duck not stopped the ball, it would have rolled in. It was a friendly game so we didn't worry about a penalty stroke (we thought it was pretty amusing)BUT, can someone shed light on what the ruling would be in such a situation? By the way the duck is fine -no harm no fowl

    The duck is classified as an outside agency; there is no penalty if a moving ball hits an outside agency and the ball is then played as it lies - which in your case may or may not have been within the margins of the hazard depending on where the stakes were.

    Pleased to hear the duck was OK.

          You don't think we're over-egging this one a little bit?

            This is getting beyond a yolk.

              This is eggsactly the type of fowl humour that flies around this board. No matter which side of the pond you're on, it's birds of a feather, time and again.

                  Not exactly rotating his hips through that swing, is he?
