The first one is True. The second one I’m not so sure about without peaking, so I will guess False.

You can borrow a ball. Joe LaCava almost had to borrow one at Pebble a few years ago when he forgot to stock up on them before tee off.

That was Stevie if you’re talking about Tiger in 2000.

(Without looking at the responses above):

False.

True.

Edit: Okay, gotta add in the third question: "Depends."  (If it was damaged during the round, yes.  If it was previously damaged, no.)

Yesterday's answers:

False, R4.2c2

True

True, R4.1a2

--------------------------------------------

We all know that if our ball is in a bunker we cannot make a practice swing that touches the sand in the bunker. However, once the hole has been completed and before we start the next hole we are free to take practice swings in the bunker as long as we don’t unreasonably delay play.
    A.    True
    B.    False

My thought is "False" or B.  But I will be interested in learning the correct answer.

See Rule 5.5b.

Except the question is about a practice swing.
Rule 5.5b discusses a practice stroke. A stroke is the forward movement of the club made to strike the ball. If there is no ball, is it still a stroke? “Striking a tee or natural object with a club (such as a stone or a pine cone) is not a practice stroke.” (Interpretation of 5.5a/1)

Edit: Looking a little more at Rule 12.2b(3), it allows for touching the sand after the ball is played, without penalty under Rule 12.2b(1). Since Rule 12.2b(1) is where a practice swing is prohibited, I’m going against the consensus and saying true.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
