Rules Guy: How Much of the Ball Needs to Be in the Cup to Be Considered Holed?

In the fascinating realm of golf, the Rules Guy stands as the ultimate guru on all things regulation. When it comes to that burning question—how much of your ball needs to nestle in the cup for it to be deemed holed—the Rules Guy delivers a crystal-clear verdict.
