List 1 and 2 shot penalties please.

[Captainron]

Can we have a list of 1 and 2 shot penalties in STROKEPLAY for ease of use on here?

I am talking about everyday occurrences like grounding your club in a hazard, causing a ball at rest to move etc.

So for example

1 shot penalty

You cause your ball which is at rest to move. Replace ball at original spot.

2 shot penalty

Giving or accepting advice from another player (unless its your partner/caddy/ partners caddy).

Just keep adding to the list and soon enough we can have a handy sticky with rules at a glance?

Here's my refereeing crib of 1 stroke penalties - no money back, no guarantee - it isn't necessarily comprehensive.


1 Stroke Penalties

12-2 lifting ball for identification without proper procedure
14-4 Striking ball more than once
16-2 Ball overhanging hole falls in after time is up
18-2 Ball moved by player, partner or caddie
Ball moved after address
19-2 Ball deflected by player, partner or caddie
20-1 Lifting a ball that is to be replaced without marking
20-2a dropping ball incorrectly
20-3a ball replaced by wrong person
21 Cleaning ball when not allowed
24-2 b (ii) relief from immovable obstruction in bunker by dropping outside bunker on line between hole and place where ball lies
25-2 b (ii) relief from abnormal ground condition in bunker by dropping outside bunker on line between hole and place where ball lies
26-1 relief from water hazard
27-1a Stroke and distance
27-1b and c Ball OOB or lost.
28 Ball unplayable

A rough guide is an accidental incident is 1 shot, premeditated and intentional 2 shots.

nope - 'cos when you don't replace this one's 2 shots.....ie this isn't the way to look at it.

pb's pretty much spot on - rough guide...but the example above, and the possible variations, is why it's better to just learn how to read the rules than consider a 'quick guide that means I don't have to look things up'.

Come Gainsborough next year, I hope penalties will not be an issue.

I accidentally played the wrong hole last week, that was 2 shot penalty.

I'm STILL unsure about this possible situation re penalty shots or replacing so here we go again.
A player is on the green- say 3feet away from the hole and it's his turn to play . So he's trying his putting stroke while aiming away from the hole just to get his rhythm but accidently catches the ball with the toe of his putter at a angle and the ball goes in the hole.
Must the ball be replaced , is there a penalty involved if so why, as the player did hit his ball with his club , albe'it not as he intended, but you never try to hit a bad shot do you

1. Must the ball be replaced , 2 is there a penalty involved 3 if so why, as the player did hit his ball with his club , albe'it not as he intended, but you never try to hit a bad shot do you

1. Yes:
2. Yes 1 stroke penalty in both stroke and match play.
3. Because a stroke is an intentional action. The player wasn't actually trying to hit a shot so a stroke was not made. The ball must be holed with a stroke. During a practice swing hitting the ball is not the intention. Getting really pedantic here within the rules a practice stroke actually carries a 2 shot penalty. Your example is taking a practice swing . The thing is though, the player hitting it could always declare it was intentional.


Anyway back to the OP. I generally follow something similar to the rough guide Pbrown set down but a little different.


An accidental incident which tends to give no tangible advantage is 1 shot, an action (generally premeditated) contrary to the rules that may give a potential advantage 2 shots.

So moving loose impediments in a bunker. = premeditated action with potential advantage 2 shots.
Accidentally moving your ball = accidental incident and replacing removes any advantage that may have been gained.
Failure to replace it then becomes a premeditated action with potential advantage so boosts it to 2 shots.

This also clears up Louise's question about the 2 shot penalty for accidentally playing a wrong hole. Although not premeditated the advantage of playing the wrong hole is effectively like practice on the course during a comp. I did it once and it threw my round down the drain because I didn't know the ruling and was worried about DQ.

Maybe harsh but look at it another way you intentionally played the hole probaly due to poor signage, but it was premeditated and intentional not an accidental playing of the hole.

That's fine then, we'll just scrap the rules of golf section.

Does it provide a quick answer to the last 20 threads in this forum?

Why?

It`s a lot easier and quicker to use OUT ON THE COURSE than the Official R&A version, thus SPEEDING up play.


@rulefan, see this reply to your question.

@rulefan, see this reply to your question.

Just looked at that. Used to have it on my iphone before changing to android. Have to say it was a very clear reference guide and does answer the majority of questions you might have in day to day play.

+1 :thup:

I've not run side by side tests but I can't see how anything could be quicker than the R&A 'Quick guide to the Rules' designed to cover the basic situations you find on the course.

If your club doesn't have them sitting in the the lounge and pro-shop tell then to order a thousand - they only have to pay the postage!
