GRQOTW120:Andy the Average Golfer is playing a stroke round at Wombat Hills. On the 17th hole, Andy plays his tee shot way left and after a brief search, he finds his ball, however it is right next to stone carved Wombat statue, which the Committee has deemed an integral object.The statue interferes with his area of intended swing, so after advising Danni the D Grade Golfer, his marker, that he will take free relief, he identifies the NPCR and drops another ball into a 1 club length relief area.Stuart walks over and tells Andy that the statue is an integral object and there is no free relief, so he must correct the mistake. Accordingly, Andy properly identifies a two club length relief area from the original ball, which has not been moved, in order to take unplayable ball relief. He realises the dropped ball is within the unplayable ball relief area. He then plays the dropped ball which lands on the green. He takes three putts to hole out, and reports a score of 6 to Danni (5 strokes and 1 penalty stroke for the unplayable).Before submitting his scorecard, Andy the Average Golfer asks you, as a member of the Committee, to confirm his score for the 17th hole. What is his score for the 17th hole?
