Grounds for disqualification

[lukeysafc100]

It was a medal competition at our club on sunday. Now people were down on the time sheet (which only allows 3 balls) but the groups/click that normally plays at about 1 o'clock decided to ignore this and play the competition in 4 balls.
This is unacceptable in my eyes because I was stuck behind them in a 2 ball and another 2 ball sandwiched between them!

If any of them played the comp? is it grounds for disqualification? (not playing correct time and 4 ball)

Rule 6-3b is the one you are looking for:

Groups
In stroke play, the competitor must remain throughout the round in the group arranged by the Committee, unless the Committee authorizes or ratifies a change.

The penalty for breaching the rule is disqualification.

Or maybe you should accept that on a medal weekend that its not gonna be the fastest and look to play in 3 or 4 balls yourself? Maybe you and the other 2 ball could have joined up to make a 4 ball? and then not had the issue where you want to get someone disqualified because of the impact it had on you?

I'm not looking to get someone disqualified - perhaps if people follow the rules and think of other people instead of themselves. Then they wouldn't be in a position to get disqualified and the impact it had on the course as a whole not just me.
your comment is unfounded and unnecessary.

Unless the got permission from the committee to play a 4 ball in the comp then unfortunately they should all be disqualified.

You're suggesting that the whole field should break a rule to accommodate one group who choose to! Which other rules should we all break?

Assuming there is a club regulation that says in effect that no groups may play in fours on medal day, they should be subject to the club disciplinary procedure, whether they played in the comp or not.

What a daft comment. All that would do is get them disqualified too. Think before you type.

This, totally unacceptable, inconsiderate and selfish behaviour

WOW

nowhere in OP does it say that 4 balls are forbidden in their medals, just that the time sheets were for 3 balls. feel free to make a massive assumption (as others have) then have a pop at someone else though

The OP says "which only allows three balls", implying that this is the maximum allowed for a competition, which it certainly is where I play. Apologies if this is not what was meant but I'm sure it was.

our sign up and time sheets only have 3 spots but 4 balls are allowed in the comp (and encouraged at the back of the field rather than having 2 balls held up!), plenty of different situs at plenty of clubs

I did 😉

and where does it say that their rules of competition bans 4 balls? Reads to me as the OP doesnt know if thats the case or not. Or am i missing something?

From the info given its pretty safe to say that 3 is the max number if there are only 3 names available for each tee time.

Who knows though, that might not be the case if he finds out, but certainly looks like it.

My apologies, fundy. Perhaps I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
