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.

Can I use practice equipment during a round?

I had heard of this, and it came up during a round, so I looked it up.  Specifically, can you swing one of those practice clubs during a round.  Turns out that you can't.

Rule 4.3a-6 says that you may not use any golf training or swing aid that creates a potential advantage by helping with swing plane, alignment, etc.

You can use something for stretching (including a club), but nothing that would help with your swing.

Interesting...
