Rules confusion #2

-

In your Rules Quiz last month the answer for question seven stated a player is penalised two shots and must play the ball as it lies if they play the wrong ball in strokeplay. This is incorrect! The player is penalised two shots, but must then play the correct ball. Failure to do so before making a stroke on the next tee means disqualifi­cation. C HARGAN, R&A
