Both ball and loose impediments are on the green. Can you use your putter to remove it/them? I thought you could as long as you dont push down with your putter (impediments where on my line of putt)
I thought so. Cheers for that. Was playing with a job's worth sore looser the other day. He moaned when I scooped away a wood chipping
just smile at him and ask the universal question - which rule do you think I have broken?
Think he was still off the green.
Wasn't so much that he was off the green but that the sand he was brushing away wasn't on the green. Sand is only defined as loose impediment on the putting surface. Had the sand been on the green he would have been entitled to remove it regardless of the position of his ball.
