Player A’s Ball was lying badly in the deep rough. Player B said to Player A “You have no shot at all. If I were you, I would declare the ball unplayable.” What is the ruling?
Answer – As players B’s advice could have influenced player A in determining his play, Player B gets two penalty strokes. Player A is not penalised – See Rule 102a and Clarification Advice/1.
