hehe xD yeah, I can do that, but I mean the ball change direction when I putt on the green when it is sand on it. But I think there is no rule for this.

But thanks Shawn:)

OK; you are talking about top dress after they spike the greens right? As long as your ball is clean after you mark it, just adjust for slightly slower greens but direction is not that bad with the sand though; it is usually the holes they punch in the greens that affect direction; just make a decision on the line and speed and stroke the putt with confidence and see what happens!

if the ball lands in the middle the bunker is that a penalty? can you use 4wood get the ball out?

[clemshaw]

You can use any club you want at anytime; play the whole course with the putter if you like!

@deschda fine to hit it on the downswing, just not the takeaway swing. Golf is a crazy game!

[deschda]

You hit the birch bark before you hit the ball. Wouldn't that be a penalty stroke?

[SmallDannyJW]

@ihaveaclone I think its fine because he hit it on the downswing. If he had hit it taking the club back then I think that might have caused a penalty.

[ihaveaclone]

it appeared that you hit the 'birch bark' first, as it did move. Is that a penalty stroke?? Or you just can't move it before your stroke?
