Is it fair? Question about adjusting scores due to course issues.
I've been playing my local course a lot the last few weeks, and it's a solid course minus a few things.
One of them is their greens. They have decent greens that they're working on improving, and I'm forever grateful for the effort...However...
They have perpetual issues with their holes(haha), regardless of placement. Their holes always have a little upward sloping lip.If you don't putt hard enough, you'll roll the ball up to the lip, and it'll roll back down. If you putt to make it over the lip, the ball makes like it's finding gaps in Tony Hawk's Pro-Skater and hops over the hole.
I would normally claim "course feature" but I've never had this at any other course. I even paid and played another course last week to see, and sank all putts without issue. I've never seen this at any other course.
**If I roll a ball right up the middle of the hole, and it pauses at the top of the lip and comes back down, is it fair for me to count that as a sank putt? What about ramping over the hole?
We just want accurate stroke counts if the hole lip is the issue.**
