RULES QUIZ OF THE
MONTH |
|
May 2008 |
|
|
|
Situation: |
In
match play between Player A and
B, Player A was to receive a
handicap stroke at the 9th hole.
However, both players mistakenly
believed that Player A was to
receive the stroke on the 7th
hole, and the match was played
on this basis. Subsequently,
both players became aware of the
mistake. What, if anything,
should be done? |
|
|
|
|
Answer: |
According to the note under Rule
6-2, it is the players
responsibility to know the holes
at which handicap strokes are to
be given or received. Since the
players did not intentionally
make the mistake in applying the
handicap, there is no breach of
Rule 1-3 (Agreement to Waive
Rules). The match should stand
as played. |
