What Was Jimmy's Score for the Hole?

[Asheville]

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 swipe missed but then he backhanded the moving ball into the hole.

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.
