Which one of the following is NOT one of the duties performed by a Caddie?
- A.
Carry the player’s bag.
- B.
Help with the club selection.
- C.
Slow down the pace of play.
- D.
Rake the bunker once your player has hit out of the bunker.
Correct Answer
C. Slow down the pace of play.Explanation
The correct answer is "Slow down the pace of play." A caddie's duties typically include carrying the player's bag, helping with club selection, and raking the bunker once the player has hit out of it. However, it is not their responsibility to slow down the pace of play. In fact, caddies are often expected to help maintain a good pace of play by assisting the player efficiently and keeping up with the group ahead.Rate this question:

Which one of the following is NOT a condition that would entitle the player to relief?
- A.
A puddle of water.
- B.
A hole made by a burrowing animal.
- C.
An area marked with white paint.
- D.
A bunker that is not raked.
Correct Answer
D. A bunker that is not raked.Explanation
A bunker that is not raked is not a condition that would entitle the player to relief. The other options, such as a puddle of water, a hole made by a burrowing animal, and an area marked with white paint, are all conditions that could potentially affect the player's ability to play the game and would therefore entitle them to relief. However, a bunker that is not raked is not considered a condition that would impact the player's ability to play the game and therefore does not entitle them to relief.Rate this question:

- A.
A small plant, that is still alive and growing, between your player and the green.
- B.
A trash can, not secured to the ground, which interferes with the players swing.
- C.
Out of bounds stakes on the perimeter of the course.
- D.
All of the above.
Correct Answer
B. A trash can, not secured to the ground, which interferes with the players swing.Explanation
A movable obstruction refers to any object that can be easily moved and is not considered a permanent part of the golf course. In this case, a trash can that is not secured to the ground and interferes with the player's swing can be moved out of the way without penalty. The other options, such as a small plant or out of bounds stakes, are not considered movable obstructions as they are either natural features or course boundaries that cannot be moved.Rate this question:

Which statement is FALSE regarding a ball in a Water Hazard (yellow stakes or lines)?
- A.
A player may play the ball as it lies in the water hazard without touching the ground or water with his hand or club and without moving any loose impediments (stones, leaves, etc.) without penalty.
- B.

Correct Answer
D. A player may use the drop area, if one is provided, without penalty.Explanation

In reality, if a drop area is provided, it is optional for the player to use it. They can choose to play the ball as it lies in the water hazard, drop a ball behind the hazard, or play a ball from the same place as the ball that was originally hit into the water, all of which incur a penalty stroke.Rate this question:

The statement is true because the nearest point of relief from a paved cart path is the closest point on the course where the cart path is no longer obstructing the player's shot and is not closer to the hole.

- D.

Correct Answer
D. A player may drop the ball as close as possible to the green.Explanation
The statement that is false regarding a ball in a Lateral Water Hazard is that a player may drop the ball as close as possible to the green. In reality, a player is not allowed to drop the ball as close as possible to the green. They have to follow specific rules such as dropping the ball two club lengths from the point where the ball last entered the hazard, but not closer to the hole, or dropping the ball behind the hazard, keeping the point where the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard directly between the hole and the spot where the ball is dropped.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Play a second ball, under rule 3-3, and advise all of the other players which ball you plan to count as the score for that hole, if the rules permit.Explanation
If the player and caddie are unsure about how to proceed under the rules during play, they can choose to play a second ball under rule 3-3. This allows them to continue playing while also giving them the opportunity to consult with a rules official or clarify the situation later. They must inform all other players which ball they plan to count as their score for that hole, if the rules permit. This option ensures fair play and adherence to the rules while resolving any uncertainties.Rate this question:

- D.
If the obstruction interferes with the players stance.
Correct Answer
C. If the obstruction interferes with the players line of play.Explanation
Relief is not available from an immovable obstruction when it interferes with the player's line of play. This means that if the obstruction is in the direct path between the player's ball and the intended target, the player is not allowed to take relief. In this situation, the player must play the ball as it lies and navigate around or over the obstruction. Relief is available if the ball is in or on the obstruction, if the obstruction interferes with the player's swing, or if it interferes with the player's stance.Rate this question:
