"If the golf club of a player hits the ball more than once in the course of a stroke, he must count the stroke and add a penalty stroke, i.e. count a total of two strokes."².
Hitting the golf ball more than once therefore has double consequences, as the official rules of golf not only count the double stroke, but also provide for an additional penalty stroke. Therefore, avoid hitting the golf ball more than once.
