swing & a miss!

[Mok]

if you are intending to strike the golf ball and you miss, it counts as a stroke! :eeek:

if the ball was on the tee, you are allowed to hit your second shot with the ball on the tee...

You also incur a 1 stroke penalty if you re-tee your ball...if you just hit where your ball lies, then there's no penalty but its your 2nd shot.
