Golf is probably unique in its expectation that players are responsible for applying their own penalties if they breach the rules - even at the highest level.
1. During the 1925 US Open, Bobby Jones called a one-stroke penalty on himself, after accidentally moving the ball while addressing it. Where did he stand at the end of the competition?
2. Why did Brian Davis call a two-stroke penalty on himself during a sudden-death playoff for a 2010 PGA event, thereby ending his chances of winning?
3. Who did Golf Digest magazine place at the top of a list ranking American presidents by their handicap, in spite of overwhelming evidence that his 2.3 handicap is based on consistent cheating?
