In preparing for his afternoon match play, Burn tries out a new driver on the practice range before heading for the first tee. After his practice session, he leaves the new driver in his bag and forgets to take it out before he begins play in his match. His problem is that the addition of the new driver leaves him with 15 clubs in his bag (Rule 4-4(a) states a maximum of 14). He discovered and reported his violation after completing the first hole, which he won. What is his penalty?Zainuddin Answers: If Burn was involved in a match play event, he must deduct one hole for each hole on which the breach occurred; with a maximum deduction in each round of two holes. As the violation was discovered after the first hole, which he won, the match stands at all square as they head to the second teeing ground.
In stroke play, the penalty is two strokes for each hole on which the violation occurred, with a
maximum of four strokes.It is no matter you forget or intentionally.
