Disqualified myself today here is why.

Wait. What? You’re not DQ unless you tee off on the next hole without correcting the error. Just playing the wrong ball is NOT grounds for DQ. You have to go back and play the correct ball with some penalty strokes. @USGA please explain.

I would have thought as long as you didn’t tee off on next hole, you can fix what you did on the hole? Maybe not though.

The rule should be you play the scuffed ball for your second shot after discovery

Thus the reason this game is great. You could have easily kept right on playing.

Brutal break Ben, but kudos to you for keeping the integrity! Will keep rooting for you!

I literally checked leaderboard after you finished 9. Went back 30-40 min later & couldn’t find you until I saw the DQ. Thx for clarifying. You don’t get many tournament opps anymore so sucks that cut made but have to DQ. Sorry. Honorable assessment though. Beauty of the game

Bummer

Well done, Ben. Even it doesn't go in your benefit, that is the correct way this game has to be played. Congratulations.

Why did I think that this would just be a 2 shot penalty for each strike of the incorrect ball?

You’re a good man Ben Crane.
