Final answer:

Once a player has 'holed out' or finished, they cannot incur any additional penalties, even if they breach a rule. Therefore, the statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question pertains to the rules of golf. Typically, penalties in golf are applied if a rule is breached during play. However, once a player has 'holed out' (i.e. their ball is in the hole), they cannot incur any additional penalties, even if they breach a rule. The reason being, play is considered finished once a ball is holed. Therefore, the statement that a player incurs the full penalty for a rule breach after holing out is false
