Welcome

My name is Nick Doran, and I am the former president of the UCSD Casual Golf Club.

I am going to post rules decisions as I encounter them on the golf course. I am pretty sure that I will be able to come up with at least one rule nugget for each round that I play.

3/14/2020 - Steele Canyon

I've been trying a new putting technique based on a video I saw with Phil Mickelson.  He said that take the putter back 25%, and then follow through 75% (ie 3 times as far forward as you took the putter back.

I think it's been working reasonably well, but today it resulted in a double-contact on a putt.  I knew that double-contact is no longer a penalty on "regular" shots, but is it a penalty on the putting green?

If it's not intentional (it wasn't), then there's no penalty.
