Hope he took a penalty stroke, cuz if you don't play by the rules it's not a game . . . it's just playing "I win". Cheaters only cheat themselves.
I don't pay much attention to the details of golfers who play out here, but I know for certain that some of them hit multiple balls off the tee and abandon the ones they don't like. I don't know if they take penalty strokes, but I'm sure their partners/opponents are ok with whatever happens or they wouldn't go out again.
Some of the rules of golf are bullshit anyway - anyone remember this?
