Playing a practice shot during a competition round

If only he'd have said the magic word 'provisional' before hitting the second one, then he'd have been fine!

As an extreme example, I saw a player in the competition playing by himself and winning a nearest the pin prize. Not saying the player was dishonest, but the Committee is certainly irresponsible. And not to mention bandits (we call it sand-bagging).

Really????

Really????

Yes, really!
Our groups play just before the competition. We get to see many Rules breaches in the competition while we're playing and while enjoying our pints overlooking the ninth hole and green. It's hilarious, and frightening!
