197 Rule 23 23.9 When Penalty Applies to One Partner Only or Applies to Both Partners When a player gets a penalty for breach of a Rule, the penalty may apply either to that player alone or to both partners (that is, to the side). This depends on the penalty and the form of play: 23.9a Penalties Other Than Disqualification (1) Penalty Normally Applies Only to Player, Not Partner. When a player gets a penalty other than disqualification, that penalty normally applies only to the player and not also to their partner, except in the situations covered by (2). • Any penalty strokes are added only to the player’s score, not to the partner’s score. • In match play, a player who gets the general penalty (loss of hole) has no score that can count for the side on that hole; but this penalty has no effect on the partner, who may continue to play for the side on that hole. (2) Three Situations Where Player’s Penalty Also Applies to Partner. • When Player Breaches Rule 4.1b (Limit of 14 Clubs; Shared, Added or Replaced Clubs). In match play, the side gets the penalty (adjustment of the match score); in stroke play, the partner also gets the same penalty as the player. • When Player’s Breach Helps Partner’s Play. In either match play or stroke play, the partner also gets the same penalty as the player. • In Match Play, When Player’s Breach Hurts Opponent’s Play. The partner also gets the same penalty as the player. Exception – Player Who Makes Stroke at Wrong Ball Is Not Treated as Having Helped Partner’s Play or Hurt Opponent’s Play: • Only the player (not the partner) gets the general penalty for breach of Rule 6.3c. • This is true whether the ball played as a wrong ball belongs to the partner, an opponent or anyone else. 23.9b Disqualification Penalties (1) When Breach by One Partner Means Side Is Disqualified. A side is disqualified if either partner gets a penalty of disqualification under any of these Rules: • Rule 1.2 Standards of Player Conduct • Rule 1.3 Playing by the Rules • Rule 4.1a Club Allowed in Making a Stroke • Rule 4.1c Procedure for Taking Clubs Out of Play
