This issue would send your round into meltdown! It doesn't matter if you miss the ball or not, a genuine attempt was made to stroke the ball.
So, you count the air shot (1 shot) and then playing the wrong ball (2 shot penalty). Again, it does not matter you didn't hit it.
Whiff
Whiff is to miss the ball entirely on a stroke. : (
If you mean a swing and a miss, a.k.a. a whiff, then yes. A stroke is a forward movement of the club with the intention of fairly striking the ball. If you intend to hit it and miss, it's a stroke. If you accidentally knock the ball off the tee, it's nothing. Tee it back up. Play doesn't begin until a stroke is made. On the other hand if you whiff and then knock it off the tee, that's two. Play your third stroke it as it lies.
Points in golf are scored by how many times you hit the ball from to tee until it is in the hole. Each time you hit the ball, you get one stroke. 1 stroke equals 1 point.
Known as a double hit, there is a one shot penalty, this means one stroke will be counted as two.
This came from Brent Kelly of About.com:golf. I hope this answers your question. "If the ball is on the teeing ground and you have not yet made a stroke at the ball, then the ball is not yet in play. And accidentally hitting the ball with a practice swing in that situation does not result in a stroke or a penalty. However, once you've made a stroke at the ball on the teeing ground, the ball is considered in play until you hole out. Then the question of whether a practice swing that makes contact is a stroke or penalty (or both) is covered under Rule 18, "Ball at Rest Moved." And here's the ruling: If you accidentally move a ball in play with a practice swing, it's a one-stroke penalty. You must replace the ball to its original position and play it correctly. Failing to replay the ball from its original position results in a total penalty of two strokes in stroke play or loss of hole in match play."
no it will not be counted if the player scores a six it will be counted
Yeah, no ball is counted as a batsman faced it.
Ball is not counted
A whiff is a slight smell, to get a whiff of is to notice that odour.
The stroke is the method for sliding the cue to strike the cue ball. A good billiard stroke is very straight and level and continues with a follow through after contact with the cue ball.
The plural form of whiff is whiffs.
