In Golf, If the Ball Goes Into the Hole But Bounces Back Out, Does It Still Count?
In the game of golf, the objective is to hit the ball into a series of holes on the course using as few strokes as possible. Once the ball is hit, it will travel along the ground or through the air until it either:
- Lands in the hole and stays there
- Rolls past the hole
- Bounces off the lip of the hole and comes back out
If the ball lands in the hole and stays there, the player has successfully completed the hole. However, if the ball bounces off the lip of the hole and comes back out, the player must continue to play until the ball is finally in the hole.
Even though the ball bounced back out of the hole, it still counts as a shot. The player must continue to play from where the ball landed after it bounced out. The number of strokes taken to get the ball into the hole is what determines the player's score for that hole.
