....Finals Weekend closing the course.... it's ok as everyone is retired, lives within 500 yards of the club so can play whenever they like!
Club Championship (so the greens had been tricked up to insane speeds) last year - shortly after the Mickelson incident, so the options were fresh in my mind.
About a 6ft putt. Shaved the hole and the ball ran all the way down the apron and way off the green.
"That's unplayable, I'm taking S+D" says I.
Put down another ball and proceeded to do exactly the same thing.
Put down another ball and finally holed the putt.
Ended up with a 9. On a par 3. (It had already taken me 4 to get on the green - I was having a bad day).
Someone else scored 13 on that hole.
A mate of mine hit the green with his tee shot and ended up with an 8.
Greens should be fast, or have big slopes, or tricky pin positions. But all three together is taking the p***.
Out of interest, did you drop or place the ball?
If we're to assume that the previous stroke ("the 6ft putt") was made on the putting surface (& not putting from off the green) then I'm sure he'd be correct to place it rather than drop
Off the top of my head, I couldn't remember the rule - makes sense to be placed
As others have posited, I can confirm that as it was on the green, I placed rather than dropped the balls.Out of interest, did you drop or place the ball?

Feeling even more of a 2nd class member now.......
Fortunately we went to the screen first...Have to say I’m not surprised, had you already put your dosh in the envelope?
Have a word with the other 3 refereesRefereeing one of our finals last Sunday. We were 4th match on and I was replacing divots as I was walking around! And repairing other peoples pitch mark (after they'd finished the hole).
Seems they got the comp entered on the system as the results came through yesterday.....Getting to the PSI screen to sign in for a comp to find that it hasn't been entered into the system.
