Definition: Holed

When a ball is at rest in the hole after a stroke and the entire ball is below the surface of the putting green.

When the Rules refer to "holing out" or "hole out", it means when the player's ball is holed.

For the special case of a ball resting against the flagstick in the hole, see Rule 13.2c (ball is treated as holed if any part of the ball is below the surface of the putting green).

[+] Holed/1 - All of the Ball Must Be Below the Surface to Be Holed When Embedded in Side of Hole

[+] Holed/2 - Ball Is Considered Holed Even Though It Is Not "At Rest"
