Rule 8-1 Asking Distance Between Objects

     A player asks his opponent or fellow-competitor the distance from one object (e.g. his ball or the teeing ground) to another object (e.g. the putting green, a water hazard, or a bunker). Is he considered to be asking for advice and in breach of Rule 8-1?

                               Answer next week.

Answer last week question:

Rule 7 -2 Practice between holes
     During the stipulated round, is it permissible to practice putting or chipping between the play of two holes?

Yes. Between the play of two holes, the player may practice putting or chipping on or near the putting green of the hole last played, any practice putting green or the teeing ground of the next hole to be played in the round, provided such practice is not from a hazard (water hazard or bunker) and does not unduly delay play. (Rule 7-2) However, be careful, sometimes the Committee may prohibit this practice as a Condition of the Competition (Note 2 to Rule 7-2).


Josh must cancel and replay the stroke from the teeing ground.
