QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Must a player announce to his opponent(s) or fellow competitors that he intends to change his ball between the play of two holes?

Answer to last weeks question;

Yes. The action of placing clubs - even a bag of clubs - or the rake in a hazard is not considered testing the condition of the hazard.  However, the player must be careful that he does nothing that constitutes testing the condtion of the hazard or improves the lie of the ball.

Until next week, good golfing
