Taking the ball out of the hole

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Seems obvious to me that as post#5 says - the rules define when a ball is holed out and hence when the hole is over for the player and hence no subsequent action by the player can change his score for the hole.

It's probably in the decision book.....

It's not.

It's not.

Well I was told it was from a very reliable person.....

Well, no doubt your are just being silly of the sake of annoying people. It's not in the Decisions and that makes two very reliable people who have just told you.

Golf myths are usually traced back to "very reliable people" which is why they get believed

Confirm his reliability by asking him which rule it is.

If a couple of qualified referees can't find it , I doubt he can.

Top bombing but I think you've caught as many as you were going to now

Nope, he caught a couple more.:thup::rofl::whoo:

any single figure golfer can also be relied on for a rules query.

Caught? Not really. I think it matters to make sure that no-one goes away from a thread with a misunderstanding even if it's obvious to most of us that the misunderstanding is being put about by someone just being mischievous.

Lighten up man! For any still not sure - take the ball out if the hole any way you like....just make sure it's below the lip and at rest....no penalty!!

So why have you found it necessary to remind us if the correct ruling if your original interjection was not likely to confuse?

A reliable man at the golf club told me to.....

 

[rulefan]

I would always take the word of a reliable man.

I have heard though that England Golf are going to change the Rules to ban those things that old people put on the grips of their putters to save them from bending down.....

The place for banter is the rest of the forum. Trying (and failing) to be funny in the rules section is merely irritating for us grownups who are trying to learn something

Did you make that up or did a reliable person tell you.....

And still some are biting the dangled bait........
