I got 6 of 12 right.  I guess I don't know the rules.  Here is the quiz:

11 out of 12.

For whatever reason I thought the answer to #3 was one stroke.
For #7, wasn't sure whether the answer was C or D but I guessed correctly.

Damn, guess I need to bone up, 6 of 12. Didn't realize there were so many 2 stroke penalties.

They are generally awarded if the player had some control over the situation rather than a straight-forward accident.

but see the thing is that instead of slipping that donut over the club he could have taken out a second iron and swung two clubs. I don't believe there is a rule against that.

Now what if you only have 13 clubs in your bag and an orange whip.... could you use the orange whip?

You may not swing the Orange Whip during the stipulated round. (You may carry it in your golf bag, however.)

6/12

I knew most which were penalized, but not what the penalty was.

Ask yourself 'could the player have avoided doing what he did (or didn't)?'. It usually gives you the answer. The notable exception is Rule 18, where an accidental movement of the ball and a deliberate movement get the same penalty. The 2 strokes is for not replacing the ball; which the player does control.

I skipped the bridge question because i knew it was one of 2 answers but just could not recall which, and I didn't feel this was the kind of quiz on which guessing was appropriate.  It is about what we KNOW, not just how we score.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I don't really understand why asking what iron the guy hit should be penalized when he could have just as well made sure to look at it. Can you ask before the swing like when everyone is standing around waiting?

Only if you haven't yet started your round.

Now I was asked what I hit on the hole during a tournament after everyone hit. Not that it would have made any difference if they'd asked me before anyway. It was a 147 yd par 3 (11th hole). I hit a 7 iron into a 20 mph wind and put it on the green. They hit 5 woods.

    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).
