No, that only happens if the  player has made an attempt to hit the ball. Edit......to the thumbs down ,check the rules book.

It's not a penalty because the ball is not yet in play.

The ball is in play when the player makes a stroke, which is  the forward movement of the club with the intention of striking at and moving the ball.

At any other time, there would be a one stroke penalty.

If following PGA rules then yes.
