I have a two part question on putting if you please:

  1.  Is it legal to putt using only one hand/arm placing your other arm on your knee/leg?

  2.  If yes, can you align yourself with the ball behind your feet?  That is, for a right handed golfer the ball is a few inches behind your right foot - you would actually be closer to the hole than the ball?

I think this question needs a photo - or better still a video 🙂

I can post a picture but simply put - can I putt with one hand/arm and does it matter where my feet are?

No problem with either or both.

Thank you Rulesman - that's what I wanted to hear.

R16-1d says, The player must not make a stroke on the putting green from a stance astride, or with either foot touching, the line of putt or an extension of that line behind the ball.

That's the only restriction for the feet. Think of a croquet stroke . . . that's not permitted.

No problem confirmed.

But would you be allowed on the course wearing carpet slippers and no socks?

Ahh - thank you.
Now slippers and no socks is the next question.

Sorry I didn't mean in order to answer the question, just to satisfy my curiosity as to how weird the stance might look.  Curiosity now satisfied, but it doesn't look particularly weird.  Thanks, however, for putting in your slippers.  Now that's weird. 🙂

      Golf's Mental Game Aspect

      By billchao ·

      This is my take on it, as well. You don’t top the ball because you didn’t think hard enough, but screwing up the following shot because you’re angry about the last one and didn’t give it enough effort can certainly be partially attributed to lack of mental fortitude. Honestly I think most people like to say that golf is mostly mental because they want to tell themselves they’re better than they actually are.

      Rafa Nadel swing is awful and that's coming from my swing that's not good but if he is an 0 handicap then his tennis skills grant him to hit the ball a far distance?,I dont know but I would say that's not a scratch drive distance (250 -280yds) swing,more like a beginner, I now appreciate my own swing now..lol

      I'd take the flawless swing. (Although we could have a lively discussion over whether or not such a thing exists....)  With a really great swing you can get far more GIR's and NGIR's then without one and approach shots carry such a high separation value.  Without needing to work on my flawless swing I could devote my valuable practice time to short game.
