Ive never see it on tv, but if two golfers are striking their approach shots to the green. The second golfers ball strikes the first golfers ball on the green before he has an oppertunity to mark it. Do both balls get played from where they eventially end up?

If your ball is at rest on the green, and another person's ball hits your ball, since you couldn't have marked your ball yet, your ball is replaced as near as possible to the spot, and the other person whos ball hit yours, their ball is played where it ended up.

Both balls are played from where they lie. You only mark your ball when it's in the way of another golfer's putt, not for an approach shot.

Where it lies or is marked is where it is played from, if it is not marked, a wind blows it 50' that is where it is played from. If a squirrel pushes it 35' into the sand trap, that is where it is from. If anything causes the ball to move, that is where it is played from. If an airplane carrying Valentines Candy crashes into the ball and knocks it off the course, that could be a drop.

Ticleve1 is right. Rule 18-5 If a ball in play and at rest is moved by another ball in motion after a stroke, the moved ball must be replaced.
Rule 19-5 If a players ball in motion after a stroke is deflected or stopped by a ball that is in play and at rest, the player must play his ball as it lies.

So far no one who has responded knows the ruling. The players ball that is on the green, at rest, that was struck by his or her playing partner, replaces his or her ball as near as possible to the original point of rest. The player whose ball struck the ball on the green, that was at rest, must play his or her ball where it lies a a result of the carom.

This has happened to me in a tournament. The rules clearly state, you must play the ball from where it lies, not necessarily from where your shot has landed. Unfortunately, I had to play the ball from the bushes, instead of the fairway. :(
