Receiving a black card will result in a player being sent off and replaced by a substitute while a yellow followed by a black is the equivalent of a red meaning the player is dismissed and not replaced (see below).

A black card will be issued for the following five offences:

    It was always so striking how average he was on tour and how outstanding he was in the ryder cup

    @Joe Bloggs: He wasn’t average. Pablo Larrazabal was average, Damien McGrane was average. Poulter won as many tournaments as anyone over the last 10-15 years, and contended in majors. Flash tw*t though.

    I’d have more sympathy for him if he was as modest as luke Donald or Paul Casey! Himself and Lee Westwood have a certain arrogance!
