Two strokes too many: the danger of a 'wrong ball'
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 15/04/2026
» Should you play a "wrong ball" -- in other words any other ball other than yours -- you'll incur a penalty of two strokes in stroke play or loss of hole in match play. You must correct the error by playing your original ball before teeing off on the next hole, or you face disqualification. Strokes made with the wrong ball do not count.

According to golfer and commentator Peter Alliss, Faulkner never possessed a half decent set of golf clubs, yet he won the last British Open at Royal Portrush back in 1951. His clubs consisted of a mixture of stiff and whippy shafts with three 1-irons of varying lengths.
