Rule of the Month (May) - Match Play Quiz: Part Two

Following last months Match Play Quiz, we thought we'd share some further scenarios to test your knowledge whilst we are still in the midst of match play competitions. This time, we have Chris and Jo who are playing a match against Ann and Kathy. Referee response due Monday 6th May.

Q1.
Chris and Jo are playing a scratch match play event against Ann and Kathy. Kathy is stuck in traffic; whilst on the tee Ann says to Chris “It’s really windy today, which club are you thinking of using?” Chris replies, “I’m not sure, probably my 3 wood”. The Starter hears the conversation and thinks it constitutes asking advice, what is the penalty, if any?
a. General Penalty to Ann
b. General Penalty to both players
c. None

Q2.
Chris and Jo complete the second hole with a score of 4. Kathy is on the green for 3 and Ann is closer to the hole on the same line for 2, they agree for Ann to play first and she sinks the putt. Chris and Jo immediately call the referee and claim that the stroke is cancelled as Ann played out of turn, and that Kathy has to play first. Does the referee uphold the claim?
a. Yes
b. No

Q.3
The two teams are on the green of the next hole. Ann has a 6 foot putt for par and asks that the flag be left in, she makes a stroke and her putt is on line for the hole. Chris, who is next to putt for birdie, removes the flagstick as Ann’s ball approaches the hole. Ann claims the hole, is she right?
a. Yes
b. No
