Is this legal in golf?

Question

im just a hacker bit im just wondering if I could do this in a tournament (im not entering one)

but im trying to improve my putting and when i line up my putt, i get a loose peice of grass (so it isnt 'rooted' in) and then put it where i want my ball to go immediatly off the putter.

that tactic does work for me..so i have no problem with that but is it legal??

Answer 1

Sorry, its not legal for tournaments. What you can do is find a noticeable spot in front of the ball and try to roll it over that. Thats what I do.

Answer 2

No, you can not do that in tourney play.

Answer 3

Doing what you are doing will get you disqualified in tournaments.

As per the answer above I also use the line on the ball system.

Answer 4

not legal....nothing to improve your line

Answer 5

Illegal as heck.........try instead to pick out a different looking area on the line you want to putt.   Also you may want to draw a straight line on the ball and use that to line up....even Tiger does that and his game is not too bad...
