In addition, if a temporary green has been prepared but is not in play, it is also a wrong green.

Are You sure?

The rule speaks of  a wrong "putting green".

The definition for putting green doesn't mention a temporary green. Is a temporary green without a hole "prepared for putting"?

I cannot find a decision to back up your statement. Have you got one?

I only know golf clubs, which dececlare (by LR) prepared temporary greens, which are not in use as putting greens, as GRU, playing prohibited.

This means, that - other than in rule 25-3 - you wouldn't be allowed to stnd on that green while making your stroke.

I stand to be corrected, because you are known as one of guys with excellent knowledge of the rules in ths forum.

A putting green is any area specially prepared for putting or otherwise defined as such by the Committee. The latter doesn't have to have a hole.

The reason that some clubs declare temporary putting greens as GUR is that either they don't know the rule or they believe that players may be confused by the 'no relief for stance' restriction.

In addition, if they haven't yet made a hole but want to protect the putting surface, GUR is the only option.

It appeared to me when it happened that a rules official watched the whole thing play out and only after the shot was played approached Noh. Shouldn't the official have given him help in advance of him making the mistake?

I didn't know the rule. Granted there is only 1 green on my course where that could even happen. Maybe he though the had an option, like a cart path, And that was the best position

As Newby points out, the referee was unsighted.  But you are correct that had he been able to see that a player was setting about playing from a wrong putting green (or about to breach any other rule for that matter), he would have intervened.

Surprised the caddie didn't know this.

Years ago, this rule was really drummed into us during caddie training. Neither the head pro nor the greenskeeper wanted players gouging divots out of the wrong green with a 7 iron.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
