The 2 stroke penalty will be applied regardless of any SB consideration. A breach is a breach and the penalty must be applied. 

The rule itself is not concerned with what may or may not be the result of the action or inaction.  

If the putt was from 3' and the ball stopped at 2'6" or 3'6" on the far side is a different problem to your 30' and 2'. It is only that issue which should be considered re a SB. Is he significantly better off after the breach than before?  In the former, no. In the latter, yes.  

 

 

Hi Rulesman,

I'm with you.  My "discomfort" is more of a philosophical one attempting to question the logic of how the SA rule is applied in some cases, the broken ball being one.  Usually just gets me in trouble.

Happy Holidays

Regards,

John
