Golf Rules Question (1 Viewer)

[chet]

Team match play. Player 1 mistakenly hits his partner's ball. Is the team eliminated from the hole or just player 1?

 

[matuski]

He has to hit his next shot with his pants down. .

 

[Zow]

Player 1 definitely. Would seem like player 2 would be too b/c this rule would be ripe for abuse (e.g. Player 1 who is already likely out if hole putts his partners birdie putt to give him a read) but I don't know that for sure.

30-3C

c. Wrong Ball

If a player incurs the loss of hole penalty under Rule 15-3a for making a stroke at a wrong ball, he is disqualified for that hole, but his partner incurs no penalty even if the wrong ball belongs to him. If the wrong ball belongs to another player, its owner must place a ball on the spot from which the wrong ball was first played.

Did you swap his Slazenger 7 with your Slazenger 1?

You get to shove a putter up the offenders rectum.
