What do the rules for quick concessions say with a ball on the edge of the hole?

Golf rules are complicated! Thankfully, we have guru. our Guy rules know the front book to get back. Do you have a question? He has all the answers.
My bird point came to rest at the edge of the cup and my opponent soon accepted a money. Do I still have a reasonable time for the ball to fall for Birdie? —Philip Frazier, Montgomery, Texas
As Orson Welles may have advised, “accept any gimmings before her time.”
You still get the reasonable time to reach the hole and 10 seconds to see if the ball falls inside.
While there is no penalty for your opponent to make the concession quickly (and maybe trying to pull a quick one on you), if the opponent becomes a little fast with their fingers and removes the ball before this time, the rules treat the ball as taking care of the 13.3b stroke.

A four -ball match. Our opponents reach us ahead of us and hit. Inadvertently, I hit the next box ahead, which they noticed properly. I retell from the correct and playing, doing a 5. Our opponents said my result was 7 for hitting the wrong tees. Is it right? —Dennis derby, via email
Your opponents were not obliged to tell you that you would play from the wrong, aside sports. Maybe they didn’t understand until late … Or not.
Still, they confused the relevant rule for the match game, rules 6.1b (1), with that for the shock game, the rules 6.1b (2). In this case in the game of the match, opponents take the choice if they want to cancel your blow and ask you to play from the correct tees; If they do not cancel, you just play the hole, without a penalty, even from the wrong tees. In the shock game, you really get a two -stroke penalty and is required to correct your mistake.
