Question 25 of 25
Your drive hits a cedar tree and immediately gets stuck. When you walk up
to the tree, there's a pole leaning on it that you can use to get your disc
down. You notice it has a marking on it showing where 2 meters is. You
mark your lie directly under the front edge of the disc on the playing
surface. When you get your disc down, it's clearly up higher than 2 meters.
The rules sheet has no notes for the hole, but has a few notes about the
two meter rule for various trees and holes elsewhere on the course. Are
you assessed a penalty?

mistake.

Question 12 of 25
During the first round of a B-Tier, the caddie for a player in your group
takes large, frequent sips of an unknown liquid from an insulated water
bottle. It becomes apparent quickly that the liquid is some kind of alcohol.
You see the TD standing near the target of a nearby hole and wave them
over. The TD questions the caddie, who admits they were drinking rum and
cola for the entire round. The course is owned by a local distillery, who
allows consumption of their products, including the rum in question, on
their property. What is the result?
Give this one a go later!
A. No, the player should come back and play the hole at the end of the round, taking
two penalty strokes per 811.F.4.
B. No, the player was absent under 811.F.5. They receive par plus four and will begin play
, on the next hole.
C. Yes, there's no rule discussing this and fairness dictates that they get to play if they
show up before the hole is over, 801.01.A.
D. Yes, the player can just say they were in the bathroom for a reasonable time and
throw from the tee without penalty, 802.03.C.
Answer B.
A. Because the venue permits the consumption of alcohol and because the
caddie is not a player, there's nothing to be done unless the venue chooses to
eject them for being too intoxicated, Competition Manual 1.14.C.4.
B. Public display or use of alcohol is prohibited, Competition Manual 3.03.B.5.
However, the TD can allow the player to finish the round with a warning and
continue playing the event, as long as they have a different caddie or no caddie
for the next round.
C. Public display or use of alcohol at a B-Tier is a mandatory disqualification,
Competition Manual 3.03.C.4. Because caddie behavior also applies to the player,
3.05.C, the player and caddie are both disqualified from the event.
D. Because no player made a call, there is nothing the TD can do, even if a rule
was broken, 801.02.A.
Answer C
A. You may look for your disc as long as you're not impeding play, 802.03. If the group
behind you catches up to you, you must search for no more than three minutes,
805.03.A, before re-teeing, throwing three, 805.03.C.
B. The whole group must help you search for no more than three minutes, 805.03.A&B. If
the disc is not found, you must take a penalty throw and re-tee, throwing three, 805.03.D.
C. If you cannot find the disc, your group must agree on a lie from which you will keep
playing the hole, 805.03.D. You do not receive a penalty throw, because losing a disc is
punishment enough.
