This week in insane golf rules: the hole in one that wasn’t
Just as a pitcher can get an automatic called ball by the umpire, so too can a golfer get an automatic one stroke penalty for slow play. And so, if the marshall gives you that penalty, you have to add it into one of those 18 holes you are playing. No problem there. Repeat: no problem with the transgression, nor the cost.
However, instead of giving you the option to which of the 18 holes you add that penalty to, it seems to automatically must be added to the hole you are about to play. And so, the kid loses his “official” hole in one. As if which hole you add the stroke to matters at all.
I wonder if whoever wrote the Rules of Golf also wrote the Rules of Earned Runs…
