Player mistakes disc

[rick belhumeur]

A player mistook my disc for theirs & putted my disc from 6ft & put it in. I thought it would be a 2 shot penalty, he said I had to give him a warning like a foot foul. I did not enforce a penalty, so what is the ruling.

Used to be a two-throw penalty. Now it is a one-throw penalty as a misplay.

803.03 Misplay
B. A misplay has occurred if the player has failed to complete every hole on the course correctly and in the proper order, or has played from an incorrect lie for any throw.
...
E. A misplay is not a stance violation, nor is it a practice throw.
...
G. Types of misplay:
1. Incorrect Lie. The player has:
A. Teed off from a teeing area that is not the correct teeing area for the current hole; or,
B. Thrown from a lie established by a disc other than the thrown disc; or,
C. Played an out-of-bounds disc as if it were in-bounds; or,
D. Thrown from a lie established by a previous throw which passed a mandatory on the wrong side.
If no subsequent throws have been made after the misplayed throw, the player shall continue play from the correct lie and be assessed a one-throw penalty for the misplay. If an additional throw or throws have been made after the misplayed throw, the player shall complete the hole being played and be assessed a two-throw penalty for the misplay.
