But isn't the question here if that would be legal? Assuming he managed to get his ball bouncing on his club without violating 14-1. If so, he technically wouldn't be picking up his ball, just double hitting it, in a way. And because the double hit is only a one stroke penalty plus the first stroke, no matter how many times the ball is struck, you could record a two for every hole. Assuming you could drop it straight into the cup and play it as it lies, meaning the ball would be holed. *Shrug*

That's how I interpreted it.
