Question 14 of 25 Your four-person group is playing a hole where the target is raised on a long pole, so the catch tray is about 2 meters above the playing surface. A player in your group throws a tee shot that lands directly at the base of the pole. When the player arrives at their lie, they jump up into the air and dunk their putter into the target like a ball. The putter comes to rest in the catch tray, and the player lands behind their thrown disc and demonstrates balance. The third player in your group says "foot fault," a common term for a stance violation under 802.07, and the fourth player says "yup, I agree." What's the result?

with their lie when they released the disc, they committed a stance violation, 802.07.A.1, which was called and seconded, 801.02.E. The player has completed the hole in three total throws, counting the penalty stroke.
