We've been playing with hole inserts for months now, so that the ball doesn't fall all the way to the bottom of the whole, and we don't spread the corona virus. Today was the first time that I hit a putt that bounced out of the hole due to the hole insert. I was stunned, and I wasn't sure what to write down for my score.
So I consulted the USGA covid guidelines here:
It is my judgement that the ball would have remained in the hole more than 50% of the time without the insert. So I'm giving myself a par on #3. Pars were few and far between today. :|
I believe our club is still playing that you must hole out, so no wiggle room. I should probably confirm that with our handicap chair before our next tourney.
