    When can't I repair 'em?

    Cheers

    Hi

    My understanding (16-1c) is that old hole plugs or pitch marks can be repaired at any time - even if you aren't actually on the green.

    Any other damage e.g. spikes marks cannot be repaired if it would help you in playing the hole - as a good citizen of course you are free to make repairs once you have holed out.

    Generally speaking the line of the putt can't be touched or improved but pitch marks, plug holes and loose impediments are an exception to this rule (16-1a) - depending on who you are playing with it might be worth showing them what you are doing to avoid misunderstandings afterwards.

    Hope that helps.

      That's a neat clarification. I always thought you had to be on the green to repair ball marks. I guess not!

          Probably hitting the ball better than I'm scoring Nicole, which is frustrating.

          Read a scary article in onbe of our Sunday papers about your drought, iirc you're a farmer right? how are you getting on?
