GRQOTW 132: Blakey and Stuart are all square in their match at Wombat Hills GC, after 12 holes. As the light is fading and as they walk off the 12th green, Blakey says to Stuart, "how about we agree to halve the 13th, 14th and 15th holes and we just walk over and play the final 3 holes starting on the 16th?” Stuart agrees and they walk to the 16th tee. Blakey tees off on 16 when a roving referee drives up and investigates further. What is the Referee's ruling, if anything?

Referee shouldn’t get involved. But if one of the players says something to the Committee, then it will depend if the players knew what they were doing was a breach or not.

GRQOTW133: Late on a Friday afternoon at Wombat Hills GC, Blakey and Stuart are playing a match, and remarkably, Stuart is able to win the 18th hole to tie the match. Given the quickly fading daylight, both players agree to stop play and resume their match on Sunday morning at 8am. Two days later and just prior to starting their 19th hole of the match, Blakey tells Stuart that he had 39 points in the stableford competition played on the Wombat Hills course the day before. Knowing that an extended match is a continuation of the same round, not a new round, Stuart now knows that Blakey has practiced on the course during the match. He requests a ruling from the Committee before teeing off.

GRQOTW130 A:

The player made a six, as the original ball was a wrong ball and the dropped ball was the ball in play. So all the shots with the original ball including dropping another ball thinking they were doing the right thing, didn’t count and they just got the general penalty. They were lucky not to be DQ’d just because they were too lazy to drop another ball.
