That is truly pathetic

You have to play the ball as it lays. I had to hit it off Frankensteins fat foot remember?

I’m no where near the golfing ability of these guys, but if I make a backswing and I'm behind the ball, I'm attempting to strike it. My practice swings/putts are made away from the ball.

Yep, that was intentional. No honor among him

I know if they accidentally tap the ball off the tee when waggling they get to re-tee without penalty. Didn’t realize if you accidentally tap a putt it’s the same rule. This was like a 4ft tap, should count.

I think that is just a French thing. Nowhere in the world have I seen that not cost a stroke. Not that I have ever seen this.
