Is is legal to lay down and put like your playing pool when you are putting on a golf green?

Question

I just wanted to know cuz if it is then i would try it more cuz it seems easier and I am in gold with my school

Answer 1

"in gold with your school", eh?  That sounds like a great reason.

To answer your question: No, you must hit the ball with the face of the club.  2 stroke penalty, or loss of hole in match play

Answer 2

You have been watching the wrong movies. I kicked a player of my team for that stunt.

Answer 3

Not legal. You can't be in your line when you putt.

Answer 4

on tiger woods pga tour 07 u can do it so i dont see y not.

Answer 5

If you mean using the golf club as a pool cue, that is against the rules.In fact, an attempt will lead to disqualification. If you are lining up a putt you can lay on the ground to survey so long as you do not hold up play.

Answer 6

no, definitely not legal

Answer 7

You must use the head of the club to hit the ball. Otherwise, it is a two stroke penalty. (Rule 14-1 and decision 14-1/3)

Answer 8

NO - it is not legal...

And Andrew, NO - you don't have to hit it with the 'face' of the club but with the head of the club or you get a 2 stroke penalty.

If you had to hit with the face, i'd get 2 stroke penalties all the time for hitting it with the blade of my club and skulling it! LOL

Several players have used the back of the club head to hit the ball out of trouble. Tiger has more than once and so have others on the PGA.

Answer 9

No, it is not within the rules to do that.

 

Answer 10

NO it's not legal. It's covered in the rules, you should read them.

Answer 11

No it is not.  You cannot be astride the line of a putt and you have to fairly make a stroke at it.

Answer 12

no that's diffidently illegal

Answer 13

as long as u are using a club i dont see a problem
