Question

What happens if I go for accidentally?Makes contact when addressing the ball

Answer 1

If you accidentally make contact with the ball when addressing it, it is considered a stroke and the ball will be counted as having been hit. You will incur a penalty stroke and must play the ball from where it landed, unless you were on the green, in which case you would replace the ball and incur no penalty. It is important to be mindful of your ball and club placement when addressing the ball to avoid any accidental contact.
