You are allowed to play the course prior to a match play round, but not prior to a stroke play round. Penalty for playing the course prior to a stroke play competition is disqualification.

If it is a competition round, in stroke play you would be disqualified for practicing on any part of the course prior to the round. In match play you are allowed to play on the course, as much as you want, no penalty.
The breast stroke is a healthy active swim and is a good all round swimming stroke. It is very excellent exercise.
In a match play competition you can practice on the course before a round In stroke play competition you must not practice any day during the competition, the penalty is disqualification
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.
No it is illegal.
It depends. For instance, a person could be competing in a Team event where they play their own ball, but only the low score on the team is used for the team score. That does not preclude the persons individual score to be used to calculate an individual result. What is not allowed is for a person to compete in a match play competition and a stroke play competition simultaneously because the rules that govern these different types of events are different. For instance, Rule 27 covers Ball Lost or Out of Bounds. The rule requires that a player must play a ball under penalty of one stroke as near as possible to the spot where the original ball is played. If the player breaches this rule, the penalty in match play is loss of hole, but the penalty in stroke play is two strokes.
Illegal drugs...ectasy proabably
It is illegal to cut down the tree or trim the tree if the branch is as round as a tennis ball in the state of California.
It depends on what state you are talking about.
No, there is no penalty for this. In a competition round, you can not borrow clubs or balls, but you are permitted to borrow items such as tees and a pitch mark repairer. So no need to worry.
