2nd Pop Quiz
Saw this on another site - during a four ball event , player A borrowed a club from his partner, player B, and made a hole in one with the borrowed club. Player A had 13 clubs in his bag, player B had 12. Is player A penalized? Did player A score a hole in one? (It was not indicated whether this was stroke play or match play, so answer both questions for each form of play.)

Your question is not applicable to stroke play for a couple of reasons.
1- It'a a four ball. That's Team Match Play.
2- There are no partners in stroke play
It most likely wasn't directly stated in order to catch out those unaware. If you don't know what a four ball is you'd waste effort trying to apply it to stroke play. It's part of the question. It's common to phrase golf rules questions this way.Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

Actually, Rule 30 deals with 4 Ball match play while Rule 31 deals with 4 Ball stroke play, and so each side in either format consists of two players who are partners. Until recently, the OVGA had a 4-Ball, stroke play event, but that has changed to a combination of 4 ball and scramble format

Questions to consider:
(1) If A has 13 clubs and B has 12 clubs, does it seem fair that A gets to choose from a total of 25 clubs?
(2) IF A is penalized for the use of his partner's club(s), is Partner B also penalized?
(3) If A holes his tee shot in stroke play, but is penalized for the use of his partner's club, does his hole in one still count as such?
(4) If it is discovered after the end of a hole in match play, that A used a borrowed club, what is the penalty and when is it applied?

BC is a Golf Canada Rules Official Level 4. We are hoping non officials will take a stab at it.

Just going to answer this part. I think a partner can only borrow a club he also has. For example if I have a 4 iron in my bag I could borrow my partner's 4 iron....
Wonder if the partners have driver with different set-up.... For example one is a fade and one is a draw... would they be allowed to borrow? That would no really be fair!!If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

PARTNERS MAY SHARE CLUBS
4-4b/1
Borrowing Partner's Putter
Q.Neither A nor B, who were partners in a four-ball match, had 14 clubs, but between them they had more than 14 clubs. Several times during the round A borrowed B's putter. Is this permissible?
A.No. A and B should have had holes deducted. The penalty would be applied to the state of the match at the conclusion of the hole at which it became known that a breach had occurred.
----------
So no ace.You only get out of something what you put into it

An 'official' will have difficulty as the RoG do not cover aces.

Ah, but Rule 1-1, says "The Game of Golf consists of playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules".
That clearly suggests that a player can complete a hole in one stroke.
But the question at hand is not about the definition of a hole in one.

For the record, here's the (modified) original question, and my answer.
Saw this on another site - during a four ball event , player A borrowed a club from his partner, player B, and made a hole in one with the borrowed club. Player A had 13 clubs in his bag, player B had 12. Is player A penalized? What was player A's score for the hole? (It was not indicated whether this was stroke play or match play, so answer both questions for each form of play.)
In both stroke play and match play the partners are in breach of Rule 4-4b since the total number of clubs carried by them exceeds 14.
In match play, after completion of the hole, the state of the match is adjusted by deducting one hole from partners A and B. If they were 1 down after completion of that hole, they would be 2 down. If they were two up after completion of that hole, they would be one up. Because the penalty is an adjustment to the state of the match on completion of the hole, player A has a score of one for the hole (and quite likely won the hole).
In stroke play, partners A and B have incurred a penalty of two strokes, and I'd suggest that their best score is A's three.
