"A applicant who has incurred a penalty should inform his counter as soon as practicable"².
In the Stableford scoring game in golf or in the golf scoring game, you must inform your teammate as soon as possible if you have committed an infringement of the Rules of Golf. Of course, this also applies to the hole competition game or the Stableford counting game. Every golfer is responsible for his own behavior and compliance with the official rules of golf. There is no referee, only a match official who makes the decisions in controversial cases or should be available with advice and assistance on the round of golf. It can happen that a rule situation is too opaque for the players, despite having a rule book with them. If the game management is not present on the course, a so-called rule ball must be played in the Stableford counting game and a decision made together with the game management at the end of the round. In the hole competition game, the decision must be made immediately, otherwise the game mode cannot be continued.
