Sniping is much easier.

So you're saying you have read the OP and can't see the mistake?

It's not as if it's not referred to several times thru this thread.

He has his own clubs and isn't using any other competitors equipment.

In the first post it said he borrowed his playing partner's driver to "hit" the ball off the tee, hence the DQ (for both? not sure)

Hmm, which he? I read it that the guy who said he wasn't competing because of a duff wrist took someones driver and hit one shot with it.  Therefore if he's not competing it doesn't matter.

This was posted by some one on a non golf forum I use can any one explain this only thing I can think of was to not get banned from the next comp.
My other question to the below are they both disqualified for sharing clubs?

 Question for fellow golfers.
Was playing in a comp on Saturday, was supposed to be three of us in our group. Got to the first tee and one lad was there, then a young lad came up with his dad, said he couldn't play as he had done his wrist in, so I signed his card to say he had turned up and we had accepted he couldn't play.

But then he got on the first tee asked to borrow my driver tee'd a ball up and then just knocked it off, picked it up and went on his way, neither me or the lad who I went round with knew why he did it?? Any ideas?

Sorry, I an't take it any longer!!!

Is that supposed to clarify something? What FFs?

Yeah that guy, but I was postulating that if he hit a shot (albeit not with his own club), he thought he had to hit at least one so *was* competing, although inadvertently DQ'ing himself anyway (and maybe the guy drawn with him too).

It can't be much clearer if you've said "Hey everyone I'm not playing in this comp". IMHO.

And I don't see how the other player can be affected. Even if both people were competing, 4-4a states nothing about penalising the player who owns the clubs being used/borrowed.

...the player must not add or borrow any club selected for play by any other person playing on the course.

PENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE 4-4a or b, REGARDLESS OF NUMBER OF EXCESS CLUBS CARRIED:
...
Stroke play – Two strokes for each hole at which any breach occurred; maximum penalty per round – Four strokes.

If the guy had been playing - which he isn't - he would get a two stroke penalty.

I'm not saying what he did was right Just guessing what he might be thinking.

Didn't know the rule about equipment. Thought it might be like giving advice where the giver and receiver would both be punished.
