billiard stick
putting with a…billiard stick?
my friend got a billiard stick out of the golf bag and intended to use it as a putter, he made his case saying that he was just stroking the ball, not pushing it, just from a different “stance”, to his credit, he did quite well on the green, and i didn’t argue cause: 1) we play for fun, 2) i thought it was funny, but then i got curious about what the rule book says
It is specifically forbidden by the rules.
First, there are specific rules concerning the shape and dimensions of a golf club. One of these rules states that it must have a shaft and a head. The pool cue has only a shaft. (Appendix II of the rules of golf.)
Rule 14-1 says the ball must be fairly struck with the head of the club.
Note that it says “head” and not “face”. You can turn the club around and hit it with the back of the club head.
Decision 14-1/2 says that striking the ball with a billiard-type motion constitutes “pushing” the ball. The stroke counts, but you add a two-stroke penalty.
Rule 4-4 says that a player may only carry 14 clubs. If he had 14 clubs in addition to the cue stick, he would be penalized two strokes for each hole, up to a maximum of 4 strokes.
If he counted the cue stick as one of his 14 clubs, he’s still got troubles.
Rule 4-1 says that he may not carry a non-conforming club. If he carries it, but doesn’t use it, it is a two-stroke penalty for each hole up to 4 maximum.
If he uses a non-conforming club to make a stroke, he is disqualified.
The reason he did well with this stroke is the same reason that it’s against so many rules of golf. It is easier to make a shot like this than with a normal golf stroke. But it ain’t golf.
