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.
Master patience or watch your golf game fall apart

» Anybody who has ever picked up a club and tried to make a swipe at a golf ball has quickly realised the importance of patience in the game of golf. Whilst recognising this -- you're able to monitor your feelings and understand the natural results of failing to keep calm after hitting a terrible shot. All golfers learn quickly that patience is essential if you wish to play golf reasonably well. You cannot rush patience on the golf course, rather like bringing up a baby who's totally helpless and dependent on you, patience is learnt and is a vital requisite.

» A good drill for developing the feel for distance is to putt a ball 30 feet. Then putt the next one 29 feet. Then 28 feet, and so on. An average golfer misses short putts because of fear or a lack of concentration. Instead of just stroking the putt into the hole, he or she is thinking about any number of things -- including other players who are watching for the result. Don't guide short putts into the hole, the right way is to approach a short putt from behind and line it up. If you decide it breaks two inches left of the cup, then that's where you want to strike it -- not jerk it into the hole.
