In stroke play, a player, during play of hole #1, discovers a 15th club in her bag. Without any comments to players in her group, the player turns the extra club upside down in her bag and adds a two-stroke penalty to her score for the hole. Did she proceed correctly?Yes. The player took an appropriate action that clearly indicated she took the extra club out of play. Failure to take the club out of play immediately or using a club taken out of play later in the round would result in disqualification. (Rule 4.1c(1)) |
