I met someone at the golf club who played in a 4 ball a while ago in a match at another club.
During the match some of the people involved putted with the flag in while on the green (i.e. hit the pin and went in the hole from 10ish feet). Put a club on the floor along the line of their feet after they hit a shot to see where they were aiming, and treaded on others lines.
Ok, so treading on others lines is not in the rules, but the others are big problems as far as i am concerned. The match was apparently a friendly between the clubs.
I told him that you should have told the players during the round not to do it, or complain at the end if they continued. He told me i was being obsessive about the rules, and if i were playing and did that I would irritate a lot of people. I told him that he was very wrong and if I ever caught him doing either of those things in a proper competiton i would get him disqualified. He wasnt too pleased...
Common, ive got to be in the right here! What you think?
