The siren sounds: can I still hole out?
The siren signals an immediate suspension because of a thunderstorm. You are standing over a short putt and hole it anyway. What is the ruling?
Answer
Disqualification, unless the Committee decides it was justified
After an immediate suspension you must not make another stroke until the Committee resumes play. Otherwise you are disqualified, unless the Committee decides the circumstances justified it. In a normal suspension, for example for darkness, you may finish a hole you have started.
