I don't even see what benefit there would be in switching balls (of the same model) to putt. I find it hard to believe that a wedge mark or two is going to alter the ball's roll. After you remove any shards off the ball there's just a...

Quote:Originally Posted by Rulesman Just what is 'no benefit' when a ball has moved towards the hole? 1mm,1cm, 10cm, 100cm? Do we need a tape measure? Which of course we can't use unless there is a local rule permitting distance...
