         4. My ball is in a bunker I remove a stone, a loose impediment, before I make my stroke.  Now what?   
            A. Veronica says I don’t get a penalty

            Answer A) No penalty, maybe Veronica isn’t such a bad friend after all.

             

             

             

             

             

             

             

             

             

             

             

             

             

            5. My ball disappears into the rough, how long can I search for it? 
               A. Five minutes 
               B. Three minute
               C. As long as I like

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

                

               Answer. B) Three minutes, once you start your search.  Hopefully this will speed up play.

                

                

               6. I mark and lift my ball to identify it and I don’t tell the other players or let them watch me. Now what?                                                                             
                  A. Veronica yells at me. You can’t do that!
                  B. I get a one stroke penalty
                  C. No penalty

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                  Answer.  C) No penalty.  This allows a faster pace of play and relies on the integrity of players to act honestly and play by the Rules.

                   

                  I hope you did well on this quiz and it helps you. Hilary
