Can't see anything other than a DQ....

Note the CONGU requirement for DQd scores.
A Disqualified Score must be entered into the Player Handicap Record.

2 shot penalty for every time they preferred their lie.....probably wouldn’t make buffer!

Can't be anything other than DQ. Based on the following logic.... Every time they "preferred" their lie, they will have incurred a penalty which they will not have recorded. Therefore, they will have recorded a lower score than was taken for the hole. The penalty for which is DQ. And the exception about "not knowing" can't apply.

It is simple having been told that preferred lies were not in place
from the rule book
When it is necessary to decide questions of fact, a player is responsible for considering not only his or her own knowledge of the facts but also all other information that is reasonably available.
 If a player knows that he or she has breached a Rule that involves a penalty and deliberately fails to apply the penalty, the player is disqualified.

Even if they did not know, ignorance is no excuse. Playing preferred lies is a deviation from the norm. If you think preferred lies might apply then you should get that confirmed one way or the other. DQ.

But only until they return their card without the penalties

Would it be a 1 or 2 stroke penalty for every breach ?

2 unless they manage to replace it back on the same spot it was on.....happened on the Japan Tour somewhere.....some fella had 34ish shot penalty as he thought it was a club length and it was only 6 inches.

I once had to add 32 strokes in penalties to my card. I was not aware that it had been removed and one of the other three, having watched me lift clean and place loads of times, waited until the 16th hole to tell me.
