So playing today in a 4BBB with a bloke who I've known for years at the club but never played actually with, and two others. We were having a nice friendly knock without anything really getting going for either pairing. I was driving brilliantly, but had nothing else, and my putting, well, eventually my partner said "I thought I was the worst putter at the club until today!". I was shocking. I missed yet another 30cm putt on the 12th and as the others walked away I had a few practice putts. As I walked over to re join them, my partner slide up to me a whispered. "You do know what you've just done is a penalty in stroke play", "WHAT!?" This drew the attention of the other two and a discussion ensued. Well, you know when your out numbered and it makes you question what you thought was correct? And I didn't want to spoil a lovely mornings golf. That was me. These guys were a lot older, one being 72 (my partner)who said that he'd been pulled over it years ago. As we strolled up the 13th, one bloke checked his phone....he had the rules on it. Much to astonishment of the other three, I was right. (I didn't make a fuss but was fist pumping inside). Much hilarity occurred for the remainder of the round, with everyone chucking in odd rules and feigning checking them on their phones. "Just how much money have you lost over the years by people telling you about a rule?" I joked. Oh how he laughed!!!!!!
72 and a new rule learnt.
