Leaves on the green when playing off the green ? |
When 'putting' from off the green, can U remove any leaves or twigs from the line of the putt ? This recently happened to me & after I had finished the hole I was told that by removing the leaves, I would have to take a one shot penalty. Is this right ? Loose impediments Impediments 鈥淟oose impediments鈥欌€?are natural objects including: 鈥?stones, leaves, twigs, branches and the like, 鈥?dung, and 鈥?worms and insects and casts or heaps made by them, provided they are not: 鈥?fixed or growing, 鈥?solidly embedded, or 鈥?adhering to the ball. Sand and loose soil are loose impediments on the putting green, but not elsewhere. Snow and natural ice, other than frost, are either casual water or loose impediments, at the option of the player. Dew and frost are not loose impediments ts no penalty for moving them Source(s): http://www.usga.org/playing/rules/books/... http://360.yahoo.com/pgamoffett... dont know No penalty. Just like you can remove leaves from the path when you putt, you can also do so from off the green. You cannot improve your lie though other than by moving these incidental obsticals. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE PUTTING FROM ON THE GREEN TO REMOVE LOOSE IMPEDIMENTS, ONE STROKE PENALTY IS CORRECT... No, that's not right. I've been to several golf tournaments and we were allowed to remove stuff from the path of our ball. no thats not right you are allowed to move twigs off the green without taking a penalty |
