That round would not be played by the Rules of golf and besides, is not equivalent to the current discussion about advice (which was clearly mentioned in the post you quoted).I see this line of thinking all the time - ”it’s only one round, it won’t make much difference “. I dont understand it. What if, say, my friends and I agreed that we could take the ball out of divot holes on the fairway? That’s unlikely to make any difference over 20 rounds, get lost in the rounding, may only happen in a round that doesnt count anyway, etc, etc. Is that inconsequential?
From my previous post, "If 4BBB stroke play is a permitted score/format for handicap purposes then, imo, advice given between partners is permitted and does not make the score inadmissible." The "if" issue has not been resolved as yet; if it is not a permitted score/format, the point is moot.
