The OP states that it was stroke play, so Rule 19-3 applies. A penalty is only incurred when a player's ball is accidentally deflected by himself, his partner or either of their caddies or equipment (Rule 19-2) which doesn't apply in strokeplay.
Must be something about this thread! :rofl:My mistake, sorry.

Great story that illustrates how you can never guess the limits of the bizarre things that can happen in golf.
And yes, he would collect the penalty for hitting his bag.
The problem lies with having to know if a bag has been left in a position where it might interfere. At what angle does it become a shank? When is a bag in a position where it should not be? Who decides and when?

how about this potential.
Club champ final, all square at par 4 18th.
You play 2nd shot to 3 feet to applause from the club
opponent is short of green,
he shanks his chip and hits your bag way right of the green out of eyeline (club champs is yours...at last)
he gets to take the shot again, he holes it, you miss!!!!!
That should've been in Bagger Vance

Here's my question. After the ball hits the bag (in either form of play) can either player move the bag to avoid a repeat? How would you rule in light of Rule 1-2(ii)?
Doesn't the removal of any obstruction "alter physical conditions with the intent of affecting the playing of a hole?" Just keying on the language.The bags are movable obstructions and can be moved at any time other than moving them out of the way of a moving ball.
