Jimmy's tee shot went into right greenside bunker. His next shot from the right greenside bunker finished in the left greenside bunker. His shot from the left greenside bunker ended up four feet from the hole.

His putt missed. Jimmy hustled and swiped the moving ball back toward the hole. The swipe missed but he backhanded the moving ball into the hole.

The Committee had to figure this one out. What did they come with. And which Rules were in play?

(I'm not making this up . . . it happened yesterday afternoon.)

I'm thinking a 10.

Six Actual strokes and 2 two-stroke penalties.

That was a Phil Mickelson situation from not very long ago, if I remember right.

Not completely.

 I don’t really have time to dig through the book right now, but anyone who wants to might want to start with the definition of a stroke… 😊

I think Indy-Archer is right. Hitting a moving ball is a 2 stroke penalty. Or was. Don't know what it is now!

  • Tee shot: 1
  • 1st bunker shot: 2
  • 2nd bunker shot: 3
  • 1st putt: 4
  • Swipe at moving ball: 7 (1 stroke, 2 penalty strokes - Rule 10.1d)
  • Backhand into hole: 10 (1 stroke, 2 penalty strokes - Rule 11.2a; although player played from the wrong place under Rule 11.2c(2), it's not a serious breach)

So 10 strokes in total, I believe.

this is not clear; if the swipe missed, how did he backhand the moving ball?

The Committee had to figure this one out. What did they come with. And which Rules were in play?

(I'm not making this up . . . it happened yesterday afternoon.)

The choices were R11.2, deliberate deflection of a moving ball or R10.1d, making a stroke at a moving ball. 

When Jimmy got to scoring the Committee were waiting. When asked what he was trying to do with those to passes at a moving ball, he replied that both were intended to put the ball in the hole.

His reply steered the Committee to 10.1d who awarded him a 10, six strokes plus two times two for being a petulant brat. (Jimmy had already apologized to the other players in his group.)

The Committee later revealed that they were pleased that it wasn't an 11.2, anticipating they might have had a hard time coming up with a penalty that they could prove.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
