Morning With the tournament this week being at Riveria C.C, There was a debate in my office with the bunker on the 7th green. whether or not you could chip over the bunker on the green? or do you have to putt around it. thanks

You may use any club in your bag from any place on the course.  You can tee off with your putter if you like.  You may pitch or chip on the green.

For those of us not playing professional tournament golf, the course will rightfully discourage (or even prohibit) chipping on the green......in other words, kids, don't try this at home! ;-)

Chipping on the putting green is not forbidden by the Rules.

Thankd David. I was pretty sure it was not against the rules. But not encouraged .

I'll mess with David's assertion, " You may use any club in your bag from any place on the course." for a minute. (Not because I wish to argue with him ... he's a smart guy about the Rules and a distinguished pillar of the Sandtrap Rules folder.)

This folder went dark for almost a week and we haven't had anything to talk about, plus I'm suddenly snowed-in in Asheville and he's not. ;-)

Back to "You may use any club in your bag from any place on the course." I can think of one instance when that statement might not apply. There must (or may) be others.

And, OP, your question is quite legitimate. Last week at Pebble Beach Hunter Mahan chipped from the front of #17 to the back hole location because there was no easy putting line.

Still here.....

We're talking a normal, conforming club.  Not one that's been damaged or an excess club declared out of play, right?

Measuring?

I was talking specifically about using it for a stroke though......

I will bet a virtual beer that there isn't  any Rule which dictates what club you must or must not use to make a stroke - assuming that you have only 14 in your bag, none has been borrowed from another player on the course and none is non-conforming.

This is similar thinking.

http://www.usga.org/Rule-Books/Rules-of-Golf/Decision-20/#d20-2c-0.7

The player would like to use his wedge, but is not allowed.  He must re-drop instead.

That's not a situation where he's prohibited from using a certain club though.....in this case he needs to re-drop because the ball rolled to a spot where he didn't achieve relief from the circumstance that allowed the drop in the first place.

I suspect that your sweeping statement is correct, thus I'll not accept your offer. :-)

Shame.  I recall enjoying a Sam Adams or three when I was in the USA some years ago and hoped for a virtual taste of a fine beer.

The statement may be sweeping, but  it was carefully crafted to avoid what I sensed was a trap in the wording of the original challenge. B-)

Think "any place" vs "any club."

There are places "on the course" that you may not be allowed to make any stroke at all, an environmentally sensitive area for example, but that's not what you're going for, is it?

And again, in responding to the OP, I was talking about "using" a club to make a stroke, not measuring.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
