If incorrect information as to the number of strokes a player has taken is given to an opponent, not by the player himself, but by the players partner or caddie, is the player liable to a penalty under Rule 9-2?
Answer to last weeks question;
Except when the Local Rule allowing the use of distance-measuring devices has been adopted (see Note to Rule 14-3), information regarding distance must not have been obtained from an artificial device used during the stipulated round. A player who obtains distance information that he knew was measured by anyone with an artificial device during the players round is disqualified under Rule 14-3.
