Gary,

Question about injury.

Say a player is injured during a match.

Can you outline the procedures for determining the match under conditions such as:

a) player injures himself while executing a stroke;
b) player is injured by competitor, either accidentally or otherwise;
c) the match is even; or the match hasn't finished the first hole yet;
d) player is injured by an outside agency, perhaps a large animal;
e) player is struck by lightning;
f) player is struck by errant golf ball and can't continue

There's no 'Tonya Harding' decision anywhere in the rules?

Rule 33-7 gives the Committee the power to waive a penalty of disqualification in exceptional individual cases.

There are many examples of this being applied to ill health or injury, especially on the Senior Tour.
