Incorrect, Sir.
In case you haven't read all of the replies here, I refer you to Exception 1 of rule 1-2: (in non golfer's terms since I don't think you are a golfer based on your comments in this thread)......if any rule other than 1-2 applies, proceed under the other rule, not 1-2.
Rule 1-2 is a generic, catch all rule that can be used if no other rule applies.
Finding a situation in golf in which no other rule applies is akin to finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Let me know if you do that....
You should understand the posts before butting in. I was the one that introduced EXCEPTION 1 on this thread.
Perhaps YOU haven’t read all the replies here?

DUDE, back that up!
