In the sport of golf, a penalty or penalty stroke is an additional stroke or strokes added to a player’s score for an infraction of the rules. In match play, rather than adding strokes, the usual penalty is loss of the hole except for penalties assessed for relief from a hazard or a lost ball.

The term is also used in field hockey where fully protected goalkeepers are prohibited from passing their side’s defensive 23 m line during play unless they are taking a penalty stroke.

A goalkeeper who is wearing only a helmet and a different coloured shirt may remove the helmet and play anywhere on the field and retains goalkeeping privileges even if they do not have a chance to replace the helmet when play returns to their defensive circle. They must however wear a helmet to defend penalty corners and penalty strokes.
