Failure to hole out, stroke play, penalty

[doublebogey7]

Not as I understand it. Essentially a disqualification is caused by the player and enacted by the Committee. In the context of this thread, the player fails to record a score for a hole and and the result is a disqualification. A player can withdraw from a competition thus causing his or her DQ.

Again semantics, all scores are caused by the player and enacted by the committee. Appears to be an irrelevant question to me.

I think many have missed or forgotten the other thread that distinguished between 'Did not start hole' and 'Did not complete hole' re handicap as opposed to competition scoring.
