is chipping on the putting green allowed?

Chipping on a putting green is not illegal, but it is in very bad form and you should not do it unless absolutely necessary. (Like if there's a sand trap in the middle of the green, or you can't put towards the hole because the green is so large there's an edge in your way.)

It is absolutely a hole in 1. If the golf ball hits a permanent object (light pole, halfway hut, etc etc) the ball is still considered in play where it comes to rest (unless it comes to rest out of bounds!). \n\nIn your case, it came to rest in the hole, so therefore, it's a hole-in-1. \n\nWell done! Not the most elegant, but still great!\n\nCheers!

As long as he stands with his feet behind the ockey line he is legal,I don't think there are any rules that would disallow his play as long as the dart left his fingers before hitting the board it would be a foul otherwise.

Unless it was intentional, and can be proved, then no you are not liable.  It's called assumption of risk.  If you choose to purchase a home that is on the golf course you should know what to expect.

A "chip in" is a holed shot that occurs beyond the putting surface. (green). No matter how or where the ball is holed, the player should always retreive the ball with their hands, even if the flagstick is still there. If you pull the flag to get the ball out, you run the risk of damaging the cup, of which takes several weeks to repair itself, and in the meantime doesn't make it very enjoyable for any goler playing after you---pure ettiquette. If the ball is on the putting surface and the ball is holed with the flagstick in without it being tended and pulled before being holed...penalty.

Greetings ...\n\nActually, in individual competition, a player is responsible for marking and placement of his own ball once on the putting surface.\n\nIn certain team situations, the player's partner may mark a ball on the putting.\n\nIf a caddie touches a ball or otherwise disturbs the ball, a penalty of (1) two strokes in medal play or (2) loss of hole in match play, is assessed.\n\nNow if you are asking if the caddie can put an ID mark on the player's ball, I believe that the answer is no. The player must do this himself.

Where has common courtesy gone?  If I wasn't willing to take the penalty strokes, drop a ball and play on, I would get the ball myself.  If I "needed" to have the caddie do it, then YES I definitely would up my tip at the end of my round.  I may be old fashioned, but I would also say "thanks!"

Hole \nThe “hole’’ must be 41/4 inches (108 mm) in diameter and at least 4 inches (101.6 mm) deep. If a lining is used, it must be sunk at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) below the putting green surface unless the nature of the soil makes it impracticable to do so; its outer diameter must not exceed 41/4 inches (108 mm).

Depends on what type of grass and time of year.  A lot of the PGA events cut the greens so low and don't water them during the event they have to rebuild them following the event.  \n\nMost of the green's are 3/16\nGCSAA\n healthy, vigorous green can be maintained at a very short cutting height (as low as 1/8-inch) for short periods of time without serious consequences if it's been prepared properly and weather conditions are acceptable. Courses hosting tournaments often take months (and spend significant extra money) to bring greens up to an ultrafast speed for PGA Tour players. For example, the greens at Augusta National or Oakmont may "stimp" up to 14 when properly prepared and dry.

Most memberships include free golfballs for the range and unlimited green fees. I do not know about that specific golf course however.

The max is 14, if you start with less than 14 you can add clubs until you hit 14 during the round.  You can not share clubs, unless it's with a partner.  When you share clubs you cannot have more than 14 between the people sharing.  starting around knowing you have more than 14 clubs is DQ.  Not knowing is 2 strokes per hole with a max of 4 strokes.  Matach play loss of hole max 2.  That is how someone can be 4 holes ahead after only playing 2.  \n\n\n   a. Selection and Addition of Clubs\nThe player must start a stipulated round with not more than 14 clubs. He is limited to the clubs thus selected for that round except that, if he started with fewer than 14 clubs, he may add any number provided his total number does not exceed 14.\nThe addition of a club or clubs must not unduly delay play (Rule 6-7) and the player must not add or borrow any club selected for play by any other person playing on the course.\n b. Partners May Share Clubs\nPartners may share clubs, provided that the total number of clubs carried by the partners so sharing does not exceed 14.\nPENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE 4-4a or b, \nREGARDLESS OF NUMBER OF EXCESS CLUBS CARRIED: \nMatch play ;— At the conclusion of the hole at which the breach is discovered, the state of the match is adjusted by deducting one hole for each hole at which a breach occurred. Maximum deduction per round: Two holes.\nStroke play — Two strokes for each hole at which any breach occurred; maximum penalty per round: Four strokes.\nBogey and par competitions — Penalties as in match play.\nStableford competitions — see Note 1 to Rule 32-1b. \n c.

The player must not use the club or clubs for the remainder of the stipulated round. \nPenalty For Breach Of Rule 4-4c:\nDisqualification.\n\n\nQ. A player starts a round with 15 clubs. He discovers his error at the 2nd tee after his opponent or a fellow-competitor has played but before he has played. Does the player incur the maximum penalty of (a) deduction of two holes in match play or (b) four strokes in stroke play?\n\nA. No. Since the player has not started play of the 2nd hole, he incurs a penalty of (a) deduction of one hole in match play or (b) two strokes in stroke play.\n\n4-4a/12 Competitor Who Misplaces Putter Borrows Fellow-Competitor’s Putter\n\n\nQ.

What is the ruling?\n\nA. There is no penalty. Such practice putting is permitted by Rule 7-2. The borrowing of the putter does not breach Rule 4-4a since the putter was not used to make a stroke that counted in the player’s score.

A player starts a round with 14 clubs as well as a club that had been broken into pieces prior to the start of the round, but had not yet been removed from his bag. What is the ruling?\n\nA.

It's only legal in Ohio if the proceeds go to charity. Yes people play poker in their home's all the time. Just need to find a good table. Last year they had a big Poker tournament in the Flats. I think near the Power House on the west bank. They are planing to do it again this year. Keep an eye open on the news and check-out Cleveland.com for more info. Good Luck.

I carry 16 clubs in my bag on normal play. Driver, 3,4 (sometimes 5) woods, 2-9 pitching 52,56, 60 wedges and putter. I have difficulties taking two clubs off in competition as it is allowed only 14 clubs, but usually I sacrifice 4 wood and 60 degree. Sometimes depending on the course I play, I take also 1 iron in the bag, too but then I need to take out additional club which usually is 52 degree wedge. Hate who made the 14 club rules, in the beginning you allowed 18 clubs.\n\nDriver is when you want to hit very far. Sometimes, 3 wood is needed for the tee shot if the fairway is very narrow, and if it is really tiny, nobody would care if you tee off with iron. 3 wood is used also for hitting long approach from the fairway, and sometimes Tiger Woods use it for chipping shots, or putting from off the green. The rest of the irons are used for various distance depending from each person to person. Try yours in the driving range and you'll know your distance for each iron.\n\nIn the beginning, if you don't know it, use 5, 7 iron, pitching and putter. 5 for the longest distance, 7 for medium distance or about 130 yards, pitching for less than that and putter for the green. Wait another 6 months, I'll you more.

Also known as an "idiot mark", this is where you hit underneath the ball so badly on a full swing with the driver that you get a huge scuff on the top of your club....really a sure sign that you're a major hack!
