Getting into a somewhat argument over golf penalty scoring rules with a coworker and I am now doubting my knowledge... please confirm my thoughts.
Debate is over penalty strokes and how it affects the score for that particular hole.
Three examples we are talking about:
1) Par 5. Drive goes OB. Hit a provisional and end up taking your provisional instead of original tee shot.
When you hit your provisional, that would be your third stroke, correct?
That shot ends up 100 out, you hit your approach and then one putt. Total score for that hole would be a bogey, correct?
2) Par 3. Tee shot goes into pond. Drop behind pond and get on green, and one put. Total score for that hole is bogey, correct?
3) Par 4. Tee shot lands behind tree. Player deems unplayable lie. Takes relief no closer to the hole. Approach shot lands off the green, chips on, and one putts. Double Bogey, correct?
