Memories of being a student-athlete I would like to share
"Know the rules! At the 1953 Chicago Collegiate Golf Conference in Niles I cautioned a fellow competitor from University of Illinois at Chicago that if his ball played from a sand bunker struck his partner's ball on the green a 2-stroke penalty would be incurred. He played (it was starting to rain). He had to take the penalty, and the Maroons won by one (contested) stroke, confirmed when the course professional read the USGA rule book."
