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.

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
