Golfers, what did you learn today?

It feels good when you work something out in your swing and it's especially good to write it down. Maybe I can learn something from what people decide to share.
In my range session I realized that slowing my backswing down and relaxing resulted in more consistent contact and better control.

I had to DQ a kid today in a tournament. I don't learn anything but he sure did. I felt bad
Kid had a lost ball in some fescue (sp??) and played it as a hazard instead of going back and hitting again

That work gets in the way too much and I didn't have time to make it to LSU's pitch and putt.

You didn't catch it until after he signed his card and left the scoring area?

That I finally know what a correct golf swing should look and feel like. An that I need to practice every day to become more consistent bc playing only on weekends won't get me there.

We only have a couple of us out there so we can't be with every group.
We tell the kids that if there is a question to play to balls and we will work it out at the scoring table. He didn't do that and played it out as a hazard. When they brought it up at the scoring table we told him we had to DQ him.
Yup

Only if he gained a significant advantage. It's a ball played from a wrong spot

Once you hole out on the hole where you played a wrong ball, you are dq'd. I did it in a US Open qualifying where I made a triple then quad on the next and was shooting +12 so I wouldnt have to sit out the following year. Hit a ball in the hazard found a different ball holed out then told them it wasnt mine.

But he played and holes out the hole improperly. (little drunk may not be the right words there)
He score did not accurately represent his hole. Hard to explain but we looked up everything we could to try not to but it's just the way it is. We had to do it

You cant replay a shot on a hole after holing out. You also cant add strokes for unknown actions.
Posted on 6/26/12 at 9:59 pm to hehateme2285
If a competitor makes a stroke from a wrong place, he incurs a penalty of two strokes under the applicable Rule. He must play out the hole with the ball played from the wrong place, without correcting his error, provided he has not committed a serious breach (see Note 1).
Serious breach is gaining a significant advantage.
Completely different situation and ruling

The competitor must correct his mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the Rules. If he fails to correct his mistake before making a stroke on the next teeing ground or, in the case of the last hole of the round, fails to declare his intention to correct his mistake before leaving the putting green, he is disqualified.
You cant play a ball like a hazard where it is a lost ball and just incur a 2 shot penalty. LOL He would have had to go back before holing out and replaying the shot still incurring the 2 shot penalty.

So after catching up on this thread...the kid signed an incorrect scorecard for a score lower than his actual score? If that's the case, I'm pretty sure the DQ is the only correct decision that can be made.

Yea, its only a 2 stroke penalty if he hasn't signed his card.
Think Dustin Johnson at that crap that Pete Dye built.

He has gained a significant edge. A ton of Distance.

Again, wrong rule. That's if you played out with the wrong ball. He didn't do that. He took a drop when he shouldn't have taken a drop. If he gained a significant advantage and didn't correct it, it's DQ. Otherwise, if caught before leaving the scoring area, it's only 2 shots
