Bewlo is an explanation of the wording of penalty statements, marked with an asterisk, underneath some of the 34 Rules of Golf. Such statements appear under Rules 1, 4, 6 and 18.<\/p>\n
Usually, the wording of the statement is self-explanatory, e.g. under Rule 1-2;<\/p>\n
*In the case of a serious breach of Rule 1-2, the Committee may impose a penalty of disqualification.<\/p>\n
Rule 1-2 covers situations where a player exerts influence on a ball in motion, or intentionally alters physical conditions with the intent of affecting the playing of a hole (e.g. by deliberately creating spike marks on another player\u2019s line of putt).<\/p>\n
A player is deemed to have committed a serious breach of this Rule if the Committee considers that a player\u2019s action has resulted in them or another player obtaining a significant advantage, or being placed at a significant disadvantage.<\/p>\n
One penalty statement under Rule 4 relates to the different penalties that are incurred, depending on when during a round the breach is discovered (e.g. 1st, 2nd or subsequent holes).<\/p>\n
Another relates to the requirement that any non-conforming club, or club(s) carried in excess of the permitted maximum of 14, must immediately be declared out of play by the player to their marker or a fellow-competitor in stroke play, or their opponent in match play. If the player fails to do so, they are disqualified.<\/p>\n
Rule 5-3 covers the circumstances concerning a ball that a player deems unfit for play. The penalty statement is as follows;<\/p>\n
*If a player incurs the general penalty for a breach of Rule 5-3, there is no additional penalty under this Rule.<\/p>\n
So, if a player claims that their ball is unfit for play and continues play of the hole with a different ball, if it is subsequently ruled that the original was not, after all, unfit for play, the player incurs the general penalty for the breach of Rule 5-3, but not an additional penalty for wrongly substituting a ball.<\/p>\n
The penalty statement under Rule 6-4, Caddie, states;<\/p>\n
*A player having more than one caddie in breach of this Rule must immediately upon discovery that a breach has occurred ensure that he has no more than one caddie at any one time during the remainder of the stipulated round. Otherwise, the player is disqualified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
