First of all, it would not be scored. The rules of golf clearly state that no advantage can be given to Any player "Against"
the field. This means that every player must have the same
opportunity to excell against all players in the tournament
("the field".)Therefore, someone holing your ball for you
would give you an unfair advantage.
Secondly,the rules also state that no ball may be"Croqueted".
Thirdly, seeing that the scoring in golf is counted by the number of strokes a player uses to finish, there is no way
to score his round properly if it were allowed that another
player may hit(stroke) his ball.
The end result is that the ball that was struck, would be marked and reset back to it's original position, unless
there was no advantage given from it's new position.

I don't know what rule book these other guys read.

If your ball is at rest, and somebody else's ball moves yours, you replace your ball on the spot where it was. The opponent would play his next shot from wherever his ball came to rest.

There are no free strokes in golf.

If both balls were on the gree before the shot, the opponent receives a two stroke penalty.

I don't have the rule book handy, but I think rules 18 and 19 apply.

Edit:
Rule 18-5 (your ball) "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 19-5a (opponent's ball): "If a player’s ball in motion after a stroke is deflected or stopped by a ball in play and at rest, the player must play his ball as it lies. In match play, there is no penalty. In stroke play, there is no penalty unless both balls lay on the putting green prior to the stroke, in which case the player incurs a penalty of two strokes"

First of you should always mark your ball on the green,but if it gets knocked in by another ball it is considered holed with no more strokes taken.Thank your partner.

Your ball is scored with no additional strokes.

It's usual to mark & lift your ball to avoid this. However, if that's not done, you've holed out without taking a stroke! Your opponent could protest that you hadn't lifted as you should do.
