We played a competition over 2 days Friday and Today not drawn play anytime.

I played with 2 friends who were playing in the competition , I played a practice round with them on Friday ( I had already arranged to play with somebody else today).

After I finished my round today 2 players thought I should be disqualified for playing Friday.

Would this constitute a disqualification?

I perhaps should add it wasn't a 2 day competition but one competition played either of the 2 days.

Will depend on the competition rules

But I can’t see why you would be DQ’d

No. There is no restriction on playing the course on a different day from playing a competition round.

Interpretation 5.2b/3 - Practising May Be Allowed on Course Before a Round in a Competition that Covers Consecutive Days
When a competition is scheduled on a course over consecutive days and the Committee schedules some players to play on the first day and others to play on a later day, a player is allowed to practise on the course on any day that he or she is not scheduled to play his or her round.
For example, if a competition is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday and a player is only scheduled to play on Sunday, that player is allowed to practise on the course on Saturday.

No. Providing your competition round was not on Friday.

You cannot practice (or play a friendly round) before playing a competition on the same day.

Why did they think you should be DQ’d ?

One of them is a old boy and influenced the other one I think he must be confused with the rule about practicing the same day as a competition, the same 2 pulled me up on the very same thing 3 years ago ??‍♂️

I was once at a club that ran it's end of season "Masters" as 36 holes on Saturday and then Sunday.

One year a 4 ball played in the morning, then went back play 9 in the evening. The pro saw them when he was locking up the shop and DQ'd them when they arrived on Sunday morning.

Their defence? They didn't know it wasn't allowed... they demanded to be reinstated. :confused: They were not.

Pre 2019 you had to put a local rule in place to allow you to play on the first of day alternate day competitions when you were competing on the second. That's now incorporated in the Rules through the Interpretation quoted above.

Am I missing something here? Am I the one who is confused?

Practice on the course is permitted at the end of the first day's play in a two day competition....unless prohibited by a local rule. Rule 5.2b and Interpretation 5.2b/1. Was there a local rule in place?

Some people are their own worst enemies, though, when they blindly accept what others (even the club pro) erroneously tell them about the rules rather than check for themselves.

My recollection is that this (ie use of the local rule) is/was pretty common in multi-round club competitions - perhaps even the norm?

Someone i know played a singles matchplay knockout in the morning and in the weekly medal in the afternoon (he's young!). On the same course. Should he have been DQ from the afternoon round?

Yes, but playing the rounds in the opposite order would have been fine unless local rules declared otherwise.
