It is surprising to hear that confusion still exists in the scoring
system of “Yellow-Ball”. Last time played, one of our players was convinced he
was entitled to a free drop from a ditch.
Rules were clarified because of such issues way back when
Roy was our Senior Captain. The simplest way to remember is: -
Provided they have not taken any penalty strokes, a
nominated player doubles their Stableford score on the hole during play of their
turn as “Yellow-Ball”.
If
they take a penalty stroke, their nomination as “Yellow-Ball” is cancelled for
the hole in play and the subsequent holes they were allocated, instead they
record normal Stableford score for their play.
A
penalty stroke is any stroke applied in normal play under the R&A rules,
Lost ball; Ball unplayable; OOB; moving a ball rest; deflecting a moving ball;
grounding your club in a hazard; etc, etc. the Sheriff.
