Every  week, we'll post a new rules question for you to figure out.  The answer may be found in the Rules Book,
or you may have to dig a little deeper and use the Decisions book. 
Meanwhile, if you have a specific rules question of your own that is stumping you,
send your question to and our rules gurus will try to answer it for you.

A & B are playing C & D in a four-ball stroke play competition.  A's ball is on the green, behind the hole, in a position to assist his partner B who is chipping to the hole from off the green.  B states to A, "leave your ball there in case I hit this too hard."  A says "OK".  C, however, asks A to please mark his ball.  A refuses.  B chips to the hole but comes up short.  What is the ruling?

A

No penalty.  When it is Side A/B's turn to play, they have control of their own golf balls.

B A is disqualified from the play of the hole only.
C

B is disqualified from the play of the hole only.

D

A & B are disqualified from the competition.
