  • 2. 

    While putting a player hits the flagstick laying on the ground, they incur a 2 stroke penalty?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a player hits the flagstick while putting, they incur a 2 stroke penalty. This is because according to the Rules of Golf, Rule 17.1d, if a player's ball strikes the flagstick when it is not attended or removed, the player incurs a penalty of 2 strokes. This rule is in place to ensure fair play and prevent any potential advantage gained by hitting the flagstick.

    You can touch the sand with your club before playing a bunker shot?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In golf, it is not allowed to touch the sand with the club before playing a bunker shot. This is considered a penalty and can result in a stroke being added to the player's score. Therefore, the statement "You can touch the sand with your club before playing a bunker shot" is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following would not be considered a loose impediment?

    • A Branch

    • Growing Grass

    • A Twig

    • An acorn

    Correct Answer
    A. Growing Grass
    Explanation
    As long as you are not in a hazard (water or sand bunker) a loose impediment can be moved before a players takes their shot!

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    You are allowed to clean your ball after it has been marked and lifted on the putting green?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to the rules of golf, players are allowed to clean their ball after it has been marked and lifted on the putting green. This is to ensure that any dirt or debris on the ball does not affect the roll or direction of the putt. However, it is important to note that cleaning the ball is only permitted on the putting green and not on any other part of the course.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    When you hit out of bounds you can play your next ball from where it crossed the out of bounds markers, with no penalty.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    If a player hits a ball out of bounds the player incurs a one stroke penalty and must hit from the location the original shot was hit (this is called "stroke and distance") - so if a tee shot goes out of bounds the player must re-hit from the tee - this would be their third shot!

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A loose impediment is:

    • A natural object (like a stick or stone) that is not growing or sticking to the ball

    • Something artificial like a road or sprinkler

    • (a) and (b)

    • Neither (a) or (b)

    Correct Answer
    A. A natural object (like a stick or stone) that is not growing or sticking to the ball
    Explanation
    A loose impediment refers to a natural object such as a stick or stone that is not attached to the ball and is not growing. This means that it can be easily moved or removed without penalty during a game. Artificial objects like roads or sprinklers are not considered loose impediments as they are not natural objects. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) a natural object (like a stick or stone) that is not growing or sticking to the ball.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What color are the line and stakes used to indicate a lateral water hazard?

    • Yellow

    • Red

    • White

    Correct Answer
    A. Red
    Explanation
    The line and stakes used to indicate a lateral water hazard are red. This color is chosen to clearly mark the boundaries of the hazard and differentiate it from other areas on the golf course. Red is a commonly used color to indicate potential danger or hazards in various contexts, and in golf, it signifies that the area is a lateral water hazard. Golfers should be aware of these hazards and take the appropriate actions when their ball lands in or near them.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A player can ask another player what club they hit?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Asking or giving advice during a round of golf is not allowed (asking what way a putt breaks or what club a player hit is considered advice). Information about distances is not considered advice - so it is okay to ask, or give another player a yardage to the hole!

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    If you hit into a lateral water hazard you can?

    • Play from the original position again

    • Play the ball from where it lies in the lateral hazard

    • Play the ball from within two club lengths from the point of entry, no nearer the hole

    • Play the ball equal distance the other side of the lateral hazard

    • Take the line of the flag and point of entry as far back as you like

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    If you hit into a lateral water hazard, you have several options for playing the ball. You can choose to play from the original position again, play the ball from where it lies in the lateral hazard, play the ball from within two club lengths from the point of entry (no nearer the hole), play the ball equal distance the other side of the lateral hazard, or take the line of the flag and point of entry as far back as you like. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" because all of these options are permissible when dealing with a lateral water hazard.
