Can an amateur ever accept a cash prize?

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Here's a question to include in your next Club Rules of Golf Quiz:
"Can there ever be a situation where an amateur golfer may accept a cash prize in a tournament?"
Think about it. Like me, your instinctive answer is likely to be: "Certainly not!"
But, as I discovered, much to my embarrassment within the past 24 hours, the answer is "Yes" ... under certain circumstances.
If you know when and where these 'certain circumstances' apply, E-mail your answer to Colin@scottishgolfview.com
Otherwise, I will give you the definitive answer on Wednesday morning.
