Rule change

[viscount17]

They've amended the rule so that Padraig wouldn't have been disqualified in Abu Dhabi - though would still have got a penalty but haven't had the spheroids to ignore armchair referees.

It covers the situation where a player is not aware he has breached a rule because of facts that he did not know and could not reasonably have discovered prior to returning his scorecard.

Under this revised decision and at the discretion of the committee, the player still receives the penalty associated with the breach of the underlying rule, but is not disqualified

Just how do you prove/disprove under the new interpretation?
