Putting

• Don’t step in the path of a ball lying on the green — your foot may make a depression and cause a ball to roll off path.
• When marking your ball on a green, place a coin or marker behind your ball, on the opposite side of the ball as the hole. Rules of Golf also allow you to clean your ball at this time!
• The Rules of Golf say that a ball can not strike a flagstick when it is hit from the green (though it’s okay if you’ve hit the flagstick from a shot off the green).
• Players should remain on or close to the putting green until all other players in the group have holed out.
• Players should not stand on another players putting line and when he is taking his stroke they should stand far enough away so as not to cast a shadow.
• When tending the pin for another golfer stand at least an arms length away, ensuring that you don’t cast a shadow, and with your free hand, hold the flag so it doesn’t flap in the breeze.
