Are you saying that the player moved his own ball and when he replaced it you couldn't be sure it reseted on the same spot? If so it leads to the question - why did he move his ball?

He moved it with his club after he addressed the ball. Before he took the club away he accidentally knocked it. I wouldn't usually say anything but this was in a county competiton and he was my opponent!

I wouldn't usually say anything but this was in a county competiton and he was my opponent! Ah, moved it with his club did he. So the ball was 'in play' and (unless it merely occilated and returned to it's original position) he made a foul stroke and should have incurred a 1 stroke penalty. See rule 18-2 in the pdf version of the latest R&A rules (be warned it's 2mg so if you haven't got broadband don't click the link !) http://www.randa.org/flash/rules/PDF/WEB_ROG_spreads.pdf I hope you won anyway...
