Heh... you have to finish all of the holes in proper order. If you do not finish a hole and proceed to play on, it should be ruled as follows:

Count the total number of strokes for the hole that should have been finished and add two strokes. If he threw 2 (he did) and then played on, his score on the unfinished hole would be a 4p. Subsequently, every throw he took before finishing the unfinished hole would be treated as a practice throw resulting in a one stroke penalty per throw. There is then the question of adding a 2 stroke penalty to this hole, as well, but that is where I get confused about stacking penalties. If stacked and he threw a drive and 2 upshots before holing out, he would go back to the previous hole and finish it (which I think would actually give him a 5p on the unfinished hole) and would be teeing off again on the subsequent hole as his 5th shot.

I think.
