In a recent Golfweek Amateur tournament I marked my ball on the green, cleaned it and then replaced it on the green appropriately. After I replaced my ball I noticed an unrepairedballmark in my line .

i told my fellow competitors that I would repair the ballpark , which I did, then I putted.

after I putted one of my playing partners told me that I violated a rule by repairing the ball mark after I placed my ball back on the green, " after you replace your ball on the green the only action you can take is to putt it", I was told.

does anyone know if that is correct?

What rule did they cite? 

I would have asked what rule or decision that is.

How did you handle it?  Did you include a penalty?  Or did you ask the tournament organizers after you were done?

As everyone has said, the competitor was not correct.  But something must have been done at the time and I am curious what transpired.

I in a very gentlemanly way told him to kiss my a.. and if at the end of the day the committee ruled against me I would adjust my score

he and I were not getting along anyways

 

i did check with the tournament organizer who said he had never heard of any such rule but I am playing with the same guy tomorrow in another event, my bad fortune, maybe I'll do the same thing tomorrow just to hack him off

Put a copy of the rule book in your bag. You know, just in case.

      Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.

      Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).

      Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
