Rule of the Day
Saturday November 21
- Here's the situation
To speed play while playing a match in a club tournament, you and your opponent agree to concede all putts “inside the leather.” Your caddie overhears the deal-making and interrupts to say the Rules don’t allow your arrangement. Is such an agreement permissible?
a) Yes.
b) No.
And the answer is...
A player may concede his opponent’s next stroke at any time provided the opponent’s ball is at rest (Rule 2-4). However, players must not agree to exclude the operation of any Rule or to waive any penalty incurred (Rule 1-3). The penalty in match play is disqualification of both players.
