Decision 2-2/1.

Player Putting for Half Is Given Advice by Opponent

The following is an example of the application of the second paragraph of Rule 2-2:

In a match, A has holed out. As B, A?s opponent, is preparing to putt for a half, A gives B advice as to his line of putt. A would normally lose the hole for a breach of Rule 8-1, but Rule 2-2 becomes operative in these circumstances and the hole is halved.

Player Incorrectly Believing He Has Won a Hole Lifts Opponent?s Ball-Marker; Opponent Had Putt for Half ? See 2-4/5.

Player Reporting Wrong Score Causes Opponent with Chance for Half to Pick Up ? See 9-2/6.
