mini golf ruling question - Page 3

When me and my friends played mini golf for money, we'd usually coin our balls. Granted, we were also usually drunk at the time, and these wouldn't be real mini golf rules.

Would he coin his ball and you coin your ball or would you coin each other's balls? More details please.

i work at a mini golf and when the employees play we all do our 1st putt then whoeevr gets it closest shots and finishes the hole. seke2 idea is the best, although when we play, on your first shot you are allowed to try and hit another ball on purpose but once all the balls are in play thats not allowed.

They say if you hit a hole in one on hole #18, you will get a free game.

I'd say no penalty and he gets to put it back where it went out NOT where it was. Also, completely standard/correct for multiple balls to be in play at same time. Hitting the other balls is part of the game.

2 balls in play. Player A hits his ball into player B's ball. Player B's ball leaves the course. Penalty stroke or no penalty stroke?

This scenario is so amateurish that a ruling is not needed.

It's number 16 on my home course.

A is allowed to move B's ball directly next to his own. then he may hold his own ball in place with his foot and whack his own ball. if this sends B's ball off the course then there is no penalty but A is allowed to heckle.

What is player B allowed to do if player A whacks his foot while trying to hit the ball?

there was a prop bet for total number of strokes in 10 trials of a hole, and well the guy losing kinda needed a miracle. seke's ruling seems best though.
