Yes, you are allowed. Is there any particular reason you ask? --LBB

I thought so. Well the reason is I was playing in a hs golf match this week and none of my partners ever did, and when I put my ball in my pocket he gave me a look. Didn't bother me though because i knew i was right but just confirming it.

I think there's a couple of things you should be aware of. If you normally carry a second ball in your pocket (as I do), be sure you are replacing the same ball on the green rather than putting the other ball out.

Secondly, if you are required to lift a ball under one of the circumstances where you are not allowed to clean it, putting it in your pocket is tantamount to cleaning.

Hi does anyone know the penalty in MATCH PLay for marking the ball off the green and accidently cleaning it??

When you say "marking the ball

off the green", do you mean the ball is not on the green when you mark it? If so, why are you marking the ball when it is through the green? (The reason matters). Or do you mean that the ball is on the green, you mark it, and pick it up "off" of (i.e. from) the green?
Definitions All defined terms are in italics and are listed alphabetically in the Definitions section. A ball on the putting green may be cleaned when lifted under Rule 16-1b. Elsewhere, a ball may be cleaned when lifted, except when it has been lifted: a. To determine if it is unfit for play (Rule 5-3); b. For identification (Rule 12-2), in which case it may be cleaned only to the extent necessary for identification; or c. Because it is assisting or interfering with play (Rule 22). If a player cleans his ball during play of a hole except as provided in this Rule, he incurs a penalty of one stroke and the ball, if lifted, must be replaced. If a player who is required to replace a ball fails to do so, he incurs the general penalty under the applicable Rule, but there is no additional penalty under Rule 21. Exception: If a player incurs a penalty for failing to act in accordance with Rule 5-3, 12-2 or 22, there is no additional penalty under Rule 21.

If I am reading the rule correctly, the penalty for unauthorized cleaning of a ball is the same in both stroke and match play.

Whether the cleaning was authorized is a different matter.

I think you mean whether marking the ball and picking it up at all is allowed is a different matter. You answered the question in regards to cleaning.

We both hit our drives next to each othar in Match play he asked me to mark in fairway i did and stupidly cleaned my ball... then I Said i think i was not supposed to clean it. one stroke?? or lose of hole? i won the tourny 3&1 after it was decided i should lose the hole...but....for future should i have been given just one stroke bc i admitted cleaning my ball???? thanks to all

It's a one shot penalty. Most of the time penalties that are one shot in stroke play are the same in match play. Two shot penalties in stroke play are the ones that are usually loss of hole in match play.

Thanks.. Are you sure??? Any rule #'s ... to back that up. Not that i don't trust you but i want to be positive before i go back to my pro to tell him he made the wrong call in our club championship... Thanks again

Rule 21 is what you are looking for. It details three of the five instances when you are not allowed to clean a lifted ball (the others are not relevant to your question).

The penalty is one stroke in either form of play. Note that if you were to clean an illegally lifted ball, there is no further penalty for cleaning.

Now, as to the procedure, I've been told to mark the ball, pick it up with two fingers, and carefully place it back on the ground out of the way. This removes the question as to whether the player cleaned the ball.

When it's time to replace it, do the opposite. One thing to keep in mind is while you cannot clean it, you may rotate it to any position before placing it back in play on the exact same spot. If there's a little dirt clod on the ball, you'd be sure to rotate the ball to where it doesn't come into play.

Is this how you all understand the procedure?

Exactly that.

      Struggling With Volatility

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on how short you were coming up on these shots. A bit more wind? Also, maybe you were swinging at 2-3 mph slower the next day.  I think the biggest thing is not adjusting. Like making assuming your stock shot is not enough and taking 1 club up. Not sure what type of adjustments you were making in your decision making.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      No one should measure a joint mobility away from that joint. If you go to physical therapy, they are not measuring your knee mobility based on your midline. It is based at the joint. Shoulder mobility should be measured in reference to the shoulder joint.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      He's using a driver swing, while I used the iron swing. Bryson goes from about 65° B to 15° B, hence the 50°. If you bend your right elbow, you're going to pull your hands across your chest some. Conversely, if you abduct your right arm and hold onto a grip with your left arm, you can see how extending the right elbow as we do in the golf swing during the downswing will "pull" the right shoulder/humerus forward (adducting it, as going from 65° to 15° of abduction is). Even people who pull their right shoulder WAY too far around them eventually get it "back in front" when their right arm/elbow extends. So, such a motion shows up as shoulder adduction even though the movement that causes it is just widening the trail elbow. The left hand on the grip almost "pulls" the hands forward as the left arm can't stretch much (there's some shoulder protraction, but that's almost maxed out at P4). Oh, I downloaded it and watched it (and commented there) before he blocked me. It's what led to him posting the comment in the "update" above. 😄  Single shoulder range of 75°, and that's going out well into the follow-through. 50° Max range up to impact. Manavian's video is bad. He keeps saying "midline" which is just a horrible way to look at it. He also kept saying that the club was moving that amount — also wrong. Adding left and right together is really freaking dumb. Another golf instructor said "That's like saying the player has 100 degrees of knee bend (adding left knee bend to right knee bend) 🤦‍♂️" (similar to what the biomechanist said about squatting). Also, see my post above about elbow bend. That's why Plummer’s alignment stick demo is so intellectually dishonest. A golfer can't get anywhere near that position on the left with his left hand on the alignment stick (quoted below).

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By saevel25 · Posted

      That makes no sense at all.  so, I watched that Instagram. Here is a summary...  Bryson.... Address: Trail Shoulder 0 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 65-deg abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 15-deg abduction. P9: 10 degrees adduction. Rory... Address: Trail Shoulder 16 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 26 degrees abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 0 degrees abduction.  P9: 18 degrees of adduction.  DJ... Address: Trail Shoulder 4 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 42 degrees abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 2 degrees abduction.  P9: 15 degrees of adduction.  Their point is that arm doesn't stay on the trail side. That the arms have to get across the chest from P4 to P9. I mean they do. What matters is the rate of which it happens relative to the position of the swing. The trail shoulder at P9 is not abducted a lot. The range of that total abduction movement is like 40 to 70 degrees. Bryson might be an outlier. Rory might be an outlier as well.  A couple of points.  1. None of them had any adduction at impact. So, this tells me the trail arms stays on the trail side of the body at impact. Is it moving towards lead shoulder, yes. It doesn't happen till post impact. The right side of the body is moving towards the target, so the arms don't have to as much as people think.  2. Trail shoulder adduction from Impact to P9 is 18 to 25 degrees.  3. P9 adduction of the trail shoulder is only about 2 to 12 degrees more adducted than at address. The arms/hands stay in front of the chest a long-time post impact. If Rory, from his address position just rotated his body towards the target and raised up his arms so he is at P9. He basically didn't have to move his trail arm further across his chest than where he started at address. Visualize that for a bit. I bet for people who tend to stall and drag their arms across their body to hit the ball, that would emphasize how much the arms stay in front of the body and how much you have to turn.

      Do you know how Manavian is measuring his shoulder adduction-abduction that purports to demonstrate 50 degrees or motion in Bryson's downswing? I know the broader biomechanics research/scientific literature on this suggests shoulder adduction-abduction is only a modest contributor of force generation in the downswing, so I'm definitely not convinced by anything he's arguing, I'm just curious how different people can be claiming to use ostensibly the same "data" to tell a much different story.
