On Saturday my playing partner said I had knocked a couple of leaves of a bush while I took a practice stroke. I accepted his word on this and added the two penalty strokes to my score.
I have since looked up the rules, and as I interpret them, I did not improve my intended path of swing, there was still loads of other leaves and branches in the way, so should not have had the two shot penalty.
My question is.....(a) Am I right? ..(.b) If so should I have been disqualified for signing for an incorrect score? ...
(c) If I am right, it has cost me the win in the comp which to me is bye the bye but, more important to me, can I have the further handicap reduction invoked retrospectively?
Hope this makes sense
