Are custom course/yardage books allowed in tournaments?

Still not sure I understand the complete difference between yellow and red markings. I may need examples.
So, par 4. Tee box.... water.... fairway. Really thought I could clear that with a 3 wood but plunk in the water where there is a yellow stake. So I may drop the ball on this side of the water, NOT THE OTHER SIDE for any reason. Reason being that point of entry is considered the bank on this side of the water, even if the ball lands 3 feet from the bank across the water. Point of entry is considered last place it crossed dry land not where it entered the water. Correct?
If you hit your ball Oscar brown aka OB it's stroke and distance. You must either re-tee or drop in the spot your stroke originated.
If you hit into a red hazard you have options: 1. Hit from origin of shot 2. Drop along the line the ball entered the hazard 3. Two clubs from point of entry 4. Keep point of entry between you and the flag and drop as far back on that line
Yellow hazard you must keep point of entry between you and the hazard and you can go back as far as want..only option
If you can't find the ball, you never hit it. Drop with no penalty lol

If you use the same club for every shot, including tee and on the green, deduct 3 shots from that hole's score.
Lefty, that's odd I thought its 2 strokes for every hole too it must have been the weighted but even then maybe it was more of a training club not fit for play?
Don't ask someone what club they just used on a shot. I did that in my first ever tournament and was quickly told I am not allowed to ask that. It was a 2 person scramble and I had never played the course or a tournament. Women will jump on you faster than anyone about rules violations! Trust me, I've had to learn the hard way.
I think it was one of those "clubs" with a nonconforming grip, the kind that has finger positions molded into the rubber. Since it was an "illegal club" he was DQed. He thought he was ok to carry it in the cart long as it wasn't in his bag.
I don't think there is a penalty for that, but your competitors can make you re-hit if you do this.What about hitting out of turn? Any penalty for doing so?
That's why my wife almost exclusively plays with the guys...she says some of the women are just brutal.Women will jump on you faster than anyone about rules violations! Trust me, I've had to learn the hard way.
That's rough. I guess that's why you need to know the rules especially if you're playing in a tourney. How did he react to the DQ?
