A lost ball or a ball hit out of bounds result in a penalty of one stroke and distance . A one-stroke penalty is assessed if a player's equipment causes the ball to move or the removal of a loose impediment causes the ball to move . If a golfer makes a stroke at the wrong ball or hits a fellow golfer's ball with a putt , the player incurs a two-stroke penalty. Most rule infractions lead to stroke penalties but also can lead to disqualification. Disqualification could be from cheating, signing for a lower score, or from rule infractions that lead to improper play.
