15 clubs in the bag: what is the penalty?
On the third tee you notice that you have 15 clubs in your bag. What is the penalty in stroke play?
Answer
Four penalty strokes
You get two penalty strokes for each hole where you had too many clubs, with a maximum of four per round. Here that means holes 1 and 2. You must take the excess club out of play immediately, or you are disqualified.
