Playing stroke, Jill thinks she has been playing with 13 clubs (actually has 14 clubs).
After the completion of the fifth hole (and before the sixth holes starts), she collects a lob wedge from her locker without delaying play and adds it to her bag.
Whilst playing the tenth hole, Jill now realises she has 15 clubs (asked to check by her marker).
She immediately takes the added lob wedge out of play (places a plastic bag over it) and informs her marker.
Jill had made strokes with the added club (lob wedge).
Jill now continues playing the round.

  LOVE THE GAME OF GOLF Â
Here’s a space and opportunity for golfers of all persuasions to review, interact, contribute, resolve scenarios, and seek support for issues associated with this great game.
Site focus is on the new (2023) Rules of Golf, principally utilising Quizzes along with other supporting resources.
GolfHelp does not compete with or challenge other golf resource sites. It has evolved out of a passion for the game and is designed to complement what is already in place supporting all golfers to better understand the game.
GolfHelp was conceived and developed in early in 2022 whilst COVID took its toll on golf events around the world. With feedback and new ideas, it continued to evolve.
The introduction of the revised Rules of Golf in January 2023 realised a need to undertake a major overhaul of the quiz question base.
I also took this opportunity to overhaul the site structure, layout, stability, data conforming and security. It was eventually republished on 3rd May 2023.
Questions are constructed with a lively manner utilising actual scenarios. They include images and detailed solutions, including active Ruling links back to the R&A’s Rules of Golf.
Random Question Quizzes are categorised as easy, intermediate and challenging. The challenging Quizzes are generally for seasoned Rules Officials.
Quiz questions are randomly taken from categorised pools which are continually being enhanced.
There are a variety of Quiz formats: multiple choice, true/false, turbo true/false, knockout true/false, timed true/false, golf trivia (not rules based), certificate options and the popular ‘Who Am I’.
Coming soon will be user customised quizzes.
Here’s the Quiz Index.
Features:
Users can monitor their progress in Quizzes undertaken. You’ll need to be a registered user to utilise this feature.
There is no cost or credit card details required involved, just a username and password.
Users may submit a question query directly from the question and/or answer.
Users may also contribute their own questions online for publication consideration.
A Rules resource has been developed. This provides a collection of resources to further enhance the learning of the game for all golfers and officials.
As always, constructive feedback and suggestions for future development are always welcome.
Donations are always appreciated.
