I played a match against a +3 that uses a stand up putter. He’s known as one of the better putters in our chapter too. I think he just uses it the way you are supposed to. Read, set up putter, let it go, stand behind to double check its line, and when you grab the putter, no practice swing, you make the stroke. The only problem I saw with the plan was when the ball was on a slope. Not sure what percentage grade is needed but at a certain point that putter is falling over, so no double checking. I think it definitely had an effect on his game, but I have no idea of a number.

      Day 5:  Oops, I missed practice on Mother's Day. But today I got a pile of mirror work done. Tomorrow will be a range day and then City League on Wednesday.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 ·

      I had another interesting ruling last week, in a pro "junior/senior fourball" event.  Near one of the greens was a drain, with the actual grate set maybe 3 or 4 inches below the ground surface.  It wasn't in a depressed area, basically just a straight-sided hole, with the surrounding ground pretty level.  A Player's ball was in some longer grass adjacent to the grate, maybe even overhanging a bit, to the "side" of the drain, so the path of his swing was "tangent" to the circular grate.  The ball was at ground level, so 3 or 4 inches above the metal grate itself.   As I saw it, there was no way at all that the actual Obstruction would impact any reasonable swing path, so I denied relief.  I did talk it over with another official, who said he would probably have allowed the relief, but agreed that it was a borderline call.

      Here is where we're at so far.  (3) more spots left for Saturday, and (2) Sunday.  Again, if there are more folks interested in both days, we'll give preference to them.
