    Default Last rules infringement you let slide.

    Playing partner was breaking off branches so he could get a better swing at the ball.

    Point of entry for a drop. He should have gone back to the tee but as he had 15 points after 15 holes, it was all academic really.

    There is a difference between "backing into" a shot and having a branch snap and snapping them off deliberately.

    If its the latter, let him have it as there is no room for cheats on the golf course

    I called a penalty on a partner once, problem is he was the club president and also on the state association's rules committee. It was on the 2nd hole and he didn't talk to me for the rest of the round.

    The ball moving whilst being addressed, this happens quite a bit and nobody calls themselves on it.

    Read the rule on that though as its a bit of a tricky one IMO and cause an argument for 18holes with a group i played in with once haha

    It's easy to let a minor discretion slip or get casual about where it should be dropped when they are already having a turd of a round.

    Raking a bunker before a shot.

    Mate went into bunker to get a rake and raked his foot prints (and others I gather) on the way out. Then went right to the other end of the bunker to play his shot. I asked him what he was doing raking the bunker? He didn't even seem to realise it was the same bunker or that he had done it. Put him on notice, but did not call a penalty. Think he wiped the hole in the end anyway.

    I am confused by this one. I get the address on the putting green side of it, but what about on a full swing?

    I played with a trainee pro at a club in Brisbane who did the same thing.

    My understanding is once you've taken a practice swing you have "started" your shot so if you then take your stance and the ball moves/falls off the tee it is classed as a shot???

    Someone at the champs tried to let someone off a half arsed airswing on a 2 inch putt that probably not many would have noticed. But I wouldnt let the idiot get away with it.

    If the ball falls of the tee and you have not attempted to hit there is no penalty. Through the green if you ground you're club at address and the ball moves then you cop a one stroke penalty and need to replace ball to original spot.

    11-3. Ball Falling off Tee
    If a ball, when not in play, falls off a tee or is knocked off a tee by the player in addressing it, it may be re-teed, without penalty. However, if a stroke is made at the ball in these circumstances, whether the ball is moving or not, the stroke counts, but there is no penalty.

    That's whilst addressing the ball not after addressing it though so the ruling is different again.

    I'm with you Andy, I understand the rules are there for a reason, but golf at our level is supposed to be fun. I couldn't care where a ball is dropped if they are not in contention.

    Just get it back into play and keep moving.
