    I missed 2. I'm kind of proud of that. In 1997 I scored 100% on the PGA of America's Rules Test. But the rules of golf are fluid. Ever evolving into being more and more thorough and complete.
    The PGA Head Professional I was working under at the time was Jeff Taylor.
    Something he told me to have in the forefront of my mind when determining the rules of golf.
    "The Rules of Golf were never intended to harm the player, rather their purpose is to protect the field. "
    Must have worked, I killed it !! Lol...

    13 of 20. Great quiz. I really enjoy the rules series you do. It's a tremendous help (although it appears I may need to pay closer attention to them when watched.) I recently played in a tournament and was paired with a person who had recently completed a USGA rules course. He was an incredibly invaluable resource, as he was able to offer direction on options in a variety of situations. It made me much more interested in having a more comprehensive understanding of the rules.

    I didn't keep track, but this quiz did answer some questions I've always had - one was the one where the ball came to rest against the flagstick and the other was about practicing putting and chipping after finishing a hole - something I've always done (when the next tee was full) but always worried that someone would yell at me. Now I can say, "read rule 5.5b." Rule 5.5b DOES, however, have the appended admonition, "But such practice strokes must not be made from a bunker and must not unreasonably delay play (see Rule 5.6a)" - which makes sense. I only ever do it if there's no one closely following. Good info, thanks.

    Great video, i scores 16/20.
    Regarding Q19 - impact tape/sticker on the club face resulting in the club being deemed a non confirming club due to an external attachment I was wondering if that then also effect things such as lead tape which players frequently use and also lots of people put a band of durable tape around their shafts to prevent bag rub on the shaft, can anyone enlighten me as to whether this constitutes the same infringement of the rules or not..?

    • @tylerwalker8223

      Lorne Willison I’m pretty sure you can as long as it’s applied before the round and dose not come off until after the round because if you look at the tour vokeys they have a guy who puts lead tape on their wedges and stamps logos into them so I’m pretty sure it’s legal

      @apaulmcdonough2170 3 роки тому

      Great Question.
      For "Formal Competition", I imagine those GC Quad Dots do make the Club non-conforming, because of the possibility of a Dot between Ball and Face, with an off center strike.

      Remember the Difference here is the Ball was Embedded in the Grass Area ABOVE the Bunker.
      A Ball Embedded in the Sand Face would either have to be played as it lies, or use a Penalty Relief option.

    Great video, I enjoyed that. However, number 17 is a bit difficult, a player can strike the sand in anger but can’t take a practice swing that touches the sand.

    • @apaulmcdonough2170

    19, just got the loose impediment used to mark ball on green wrong. May have been worth noting that the quiz is based on the extant rules as implemented 1 Jan 2019. Also could be useful to say where a rule was changed in 2019 for some people who have not yet bothered to acquaint themselves with the latest version, e.g. grounding club in penalty areas, damaged clubs, hitting sand in bunker in anger. Also worth noting that practising chipping and putting between holes is only permissible if it does not unreasonably delay play.

    • @apaulmcdonough2170
      @apaulmcdonough2170 3 роки тому

      Since 2019, a Flagstick may be left in the Hole during Putting.
      A Flagstick lying on the Green is considered a Moveable Obstruction, and may be lifted, or moved out of the way of a Rolling Ball.
      *I believe* IF a putted Ball (that was originally on the Green) strikes a removed Flagstick, the Original Putt is Replayed with NO Penalty.

    • @pghbreinig44
      @pghbreinig44 4 роки тому

      Little late but since it is a man-made object and interferes with the line to the hole he is allowed free relief no closer to the hole and i think 2 club lengths with the club that you would reasonably use next to get closer to the hole. I.e. you couldn't use a driver if you are 100 yds out.

  • @mikegraham8236
    @mikegraham8236 4 роки тому

    My score was 18 out of 20 and one of those was just the number of penalty strokes I said one and it was two for touching the sand in the backswing....wonder how many people do that in a round and it goes without penalty never mind one???? The other was the ball marker question i thought that you could leave something there but as you point out it must be artificial . Great quiz and good to get the answers straight after it is a good way of leaning...thanks for your efforts fantastic magazine.

  • @hanabal77
    @hanabal77 4 роки тому

    Question 7: If one was to touch the sand on the backswing but hole out the shot (continuing the full swing) does the hole out count with the two-stroke penalty or do you have to put the ball back and replay the shot? Please include the reference. Thank you

    • @jeremyellwood4515
      @jeremyellwood4515 4 роки тому +1

    Question #5. So the Player cannot remove the divot and press is down. Or he can move it out but just cannot press it down?

    • @apaulmcdonough2170
      @apaulmcdonough2170 3 роки тому

      The Difference here is the specified "Attached Divot" . A completely unattached Divot is a Loose Impediment and can be removed as long as the Ball doesn't Move.

I thought that you could not use a damaged club during a round if you caused the damage. I thought that the person who asked for advice got the penalty. I thought that you could mark a ball with a leaf or twig that was on the green if you did not have a ball marker available. Thanks for the review.

  • @johnchampion7819
    @johnchampion7819 3 роки тому

    16 out of 20. I should have got Question 11 right, I presume the nearest reference point for relief would be behind the bunker? However, not sure about Question 16 with regard to the ball marker. I have recently bought the R & A Rule book and cannot find any reference to the fact that ball markers must be artificial. Could someone enlighten me? I also thought it would make sense to restore the stance in a bunker (Q.20) since it was accidently disturbed. Similar to replacing a ball on the green if it is accidentally moved. Good quiz and an enjoyable way to brush up on the rules.

    Q11 is a stinker, at what point is the general hazard no longer a hazard? At Out course we have a sharp edge to the bunker and then about an 8” vertical (soil) face, balls have been know to plug in that bit of soil, so is that in the bunker, the face of the bunker or general area.

    A query on taking advice during the round ... surely this is admissable if the player giving or asking advice is your partner in a competition?

    heres one.. if a ball is plugged but on the day there is no lift clean and place or replace, is the player allowed to do so even if ball is plugged in mud or sometimes wet grass or soft grass? and same for ball plugged on the green?

      You can remove your ball from an embedded lie without penalty unless you are in a bunker or penalty area

    For question #17, couldn't the striking of the sand be seen as testing the condition of the bunker?

    Achieved 20/20. My comment would be that you should consider adding more detail to your commentary like the size and location of the Relief Area. I see too many players interpreting Free Relief and the spot for their Reference Point a little too liberally. For example, in your sixth question you cite getting Free Relief from an Immoveable Obstruction based on the fact that the sign interferes with his stroke. I see too many players interpreting the Reference Point for their stance as usually being either left or right of the Immoveable Obstruction and hence perhaps a couple of feet away from where their ball was whereas the Nearest Point of Relief could be 2 inches Back-on-Line. Once you have identified your Nearest Point of Relief, mark it and then you have a one club-length, no closer to the pin Relief Area.

    19/20 I didn’t know that you could not restore the bunker lie after a player falls. Question, how can you tell if any part of the ball is below the hole when leaning up against the flag stick? I mean what if we decide that no part of the ball is not below the level of the hole, how would you mark it? Now that we’re allowed to leave the flagstick in the hole, I’ve always considered the ball holed even when it just touches the flagstick, knowing that if the flagstick is moved the ball would fall in the hole.
