Stroke
The forward movement of the club made to strike the ball.
But a stroke has not been made if the player:
Decides during the downswing not to strike the ball and avoids doing so by deliberately stopping the clubhead before it reaches the ball or, if unable to stop, by deliberately missing the ball.
Accidentally strikes the ball when making a practice swing or while preparing to make a stroke.
When the Rules refer to “playing a ball,” it means the same as making a stroke.
The player’s score for a hole or a round is described as a number of “strokes” or “strokes taken,” which means both all strokes made and any penalty strokes (see Rule 3.1c).

  1. You should have been clear that practice strokes are not allowed during stroke play even after the hole…only match play. Is this a USGA thing only?
