If you were off the green you were not putting so no breach of rule I would make sure you tell your cocksure friend that he wasn't even close to seeing a Breech of the rules.and make sure that plenty are in earshot when you tell him

Nothing to stop your pp standing behind you when you are teeing off and the same applies if you aren't on the green even if you have a putter in your hand

Had a Ping Iron fitting a while back. Fitting van came to the club and I got measured up
I left myself in their hands with regard to everything except the head.
Having done some research and had a play with a demo club I'd decided the i210 would fit. They agreed
Clubs arrive and off I go
A bit wayward on occasions but I put this down to the different shaft etc.
Had some decent rounds and some bad ones.
Thinking about it, most of my struggles have been missing greens by miles...not something I normally do from 120-140 yards.
So, this afternoon, I decided to check the measurements relating to my fit.
I'm 6ft and my wrist to floor is a whisker under 34" which equates to black or maybe just blue dot(+1°)
I've been given white dot(+3°) and + 1/2 inch - which means, effectively, another degree upright.
Measurements for those specs put me at 6' 1" with a wrist to floor of 36+".
I know there's a bit more to it than that but, according to their starting point I'm around 4° too upright
And I wonder why I'm missing left and hooking....
Off to see the Pro tomorrow for a chat.

We play quite a few Golf Scotland Texas Scrambles events, they allow standing behind watching the line of putts, they're non qualifying events.
Edit , 1st prize is a trip to Augusta for the winning team.

Easily sorted and Ping will make it right I'm sure. Not ideal I agree.

I'm sure they will but it breeds the seeds of doubt......

Absolutely and I (from recent experience) believe that the CS at Ping UK has greatly deteriorated. Which for me being a huge Ping fan is disappointing to experience. I was also looking at the new Ping Glide 3 wedges the other day in a store and noticed that a grip on one was out by at least 30 degree, how the heck can that get through quality control never mind be put out onto a shelf?

My place, & my old club, don’t allow it.

My club doesn't either , but it's up to who ever is running the comp to decide the conditions.
Not sure how much they can effectively bend cast clubs so you may get back to to blue dot at best. I'd be asking questions as to why the static measure varied so muchHad a Ping Iron fitting a while back. Fitting van came to the club and I got measured up

Allegedly they can be bent +/-4°
But having been bent 3° one way I'm not convinced it would be a good idea to go 3° back the other way.....
Has to affect the metal surely..
I agree. I think you definitely need to ask both the pro and Ping how your own fitting numbers (given there may be an odd degree of variance) can be so out from what the fitting van showed. I would definitrly be nervous about how much they can effectively bend them safelyAllegedly they can be bent +/-4°

As far as i know Texas Scrambles aren't covered by the rules of golf,
. Seemingly they can implement any rules/conditions they want as it isn't a recognised qualifying Congu or RnA event. Rule 20.3

You might want to read 10.2b(4)
Although, given recent "interpretations", I'm not sure why the second bullet point is still there.

As far as i know Texas Scrambles aren't covered by the rules of golf,
So does that mean no Rules apply to Texas Scrambles and a team can pretty much do whatever they like or just the ones that suit?

Combining greens that are 12.2 on a stimp with really stupid pin positions. I like fast greens, but the pins have to be sensible. Sadly, at the weekend a few of ours weren't. Pins that are on a ridge, so it is impossible to lag putt, you either hole it, or it runs 15 foot past, and off the green.
