A few golf rules don't make sense to me either way. I think this is illegal, but figured I should ask.

 

Is it legal to use a putter like a cue stick? Either using the grip or using the bottom of a blade? I've knelt down and used the end of the grip and have had people argue on both sides of the legality of this.

 

Thanks for any info.

No.

See 10.1a.
