Daft question...

[bobmac]

There is some very serious stir craziness setting in on here recently,judging by the recent posts if some of us don't play this weekend we may as well stick underpants on our heads,pencils up our noses and say "Wibble"

Darling?
BAHHHHH

Noise for starters, and blowing it potentially into your partners lines wouldnt endear you.

Howdy
chaps,

A rather odd rules question here.

On the green, i know that the line of the putt is sacred and cannot be touched but that leaves etc can be lifted. My question is this...if there was a pocket leaf blower developed to "clean" the line of sand/leaves etc, would this be allowed as it doesn't touch the green stuff?

(You can tell i've had far too much time recently to think up such nonsense!!)

Your thoughts please....

and given that most players won't be aware of that ruling (and not having a referee handy), there'll be some rare old squabbling going on, unsigned cards and decisions taken back to the committee. just what you'd want in the middle of a medal.

Indeed most players aren't aware of the rule and believe it's a penalty no matter what. I was just pointing out that this view is wrong despite most players believing it to be true.

I don't go to bed reading the decisions book btw but had to look this up after a real incident in one of our open comps. A complaint had been made by the marker who was under this very illusion and the player was adamant that he had not improved his intended swing by hitting an inch thick branch resulting in a couple of leaves falling to the ground. Once the marker saw the decision he immediately accepted the score saying "well, I didn't know that" (that made two of us). Happy days.
