Wow, that's not an easy test. I don't know the answers to most of them, but I do know how to find them. I'd strongly suggest you spend some quality with www.usga.org because you should be able to ace it based on that site alone.

Good luck!

(and I'm pretty sure that when buddy's ball nailed yours and yours went 20 yards, that's cool and you just carry from where your ball is now)

1. Not sure. Probably drop the ball to the fringe of the green.
2. 2 strokes penalty or loss of hole in match play.
3. Not sure. Probably 2 strokes penalty.
4. Redrop
5. No idea....
6. None ???
7. Disqualified.... That's pretty harsh...
8. None... It was unintentional
9. a. That is, if he didn't played his provisional yet. Not sure though....
10. No idea
11. That's already 2 stroke, with 1 stroke penalty I think... which makes 3 strokes.
12. Don't remember.... Silver's probably right.
13. He didn't announce to his fellow competitors...
14. ????
15. There's a penalty.... But how much, I don't know...

Very good and tough questions though.
