2019 Rules Discussions •

Yes, the old guidance was also nebulous at best.

Let me add a few more examples:

• In preparation for playing a wrong ball that lies in a bunker, the player makes a practice swing accidentally touching the sand.  His original ball lies outside the bunker. (I'm thinking not)
• The player nudges an OB stake from its original position to play a stroke with his ball which lies out of bounds.  (???)
• In playing a wrong ball, the player allows his partner to stand behind him, on an extension of his line of play as he takes his stance.  (Advice???)
• Would any "wrong place" breach ever count?  How about any incorrect substitution while playing a wrong ball?
