The importance of marking your ball and checking it!
Every amateur has probably had that “whoops” moment when they suddenly realize the ball they just hit isn’t theirs
Many players use the same brand of ball, and mark their balls in similar fashion, but players still commit the cardinal sin of playing the wrong ball.
So what’s the rule — and the penalty — for playing the wrong ball? It falls under Rule 15-3b, Here’s the official definition:
“If a competitor makes a stroke or strokes at a wrong ball, he incurs a penalty of two strokes.
The competitor must correct his mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the Rules. If he fails to correct his mistake before making a stroke on the next teeing ground or, in the case of the last hole of the round, fails to declare his intention to correct his mistake before leaving the putting green, he is disqualified.
Strokes made by a competitor with a wrong ball do not count in his score. If the wrong ball belongs to another competitor, its owner must place a ball on the spot from which the wrong ball was first played.”
