In the course of normal play, golfers often fail to hit the ball in some special positions, such as the ball in the extremely long grass or in a difficult position under a tree. At this time, everyone's controversy will follow. Does the missed shot need to be counted in your own score? This problem also plagues professional players.

Beijing time on August 11, 2014, Cameron Tlingay was disqualified in the final round of the PGA Golf Championship because he missed a shot he missed. It happened on the green of the 11th hole of the game. Before Tringayi pushed the 3-inch bogey putt, his putter had already swung over the small ball, but he didn't know it was not hitting the ball at the time. One stroke also needs to be calculated into one's own score, and a scorecard that is lower than his actual score is submitted after the game. After the game, he was hesitant about whether he violated the rules or not. He counted that putt into his score and disqualified him from the game.

In this case, there are two rule issues. The first one is whether the swing mentioned above needs to be recorded in one's own score. According to the rules of golf rules definition, " "Hit the ball" refers to the movement intended to hit the ball and move the club forward. That is to say, when a player consciously makes a shot and swings the club in the direction of the shot, whether or not he hits the ball in this swing must be calculated in his own score. Tringayi confirmed after the game that although he did not hit the ball but he did intend to hit the ball, then according to the rules, his stroke is to be calculated into the score.

The second issue involved in the rules is how to deal with when the player submits a score lower than his actual score. According to the rules of golf rules 6-6, the player is responsible for the correctness of the scorecard submitted by the player. If the score of a hole in the scorecard submitted by a player is lower than his actual score, he will be disqualified from the game. As an experienced player, whether professional or amateur, you should carefully check the score of each hole before submitting the scorecard, and submit the scorecard after confirming that it is correct. Once the scorecard is submitted to the tournament organizing committee, Players will no longer be able to make changes to the scorecard.
