Mick Hacker Rules of Golf Video Transcript

Sawasdee Ka, today Mick Hacker asks “My buddie Keith and I were getting some satisfaction on the course when he rubbed his ball on the green to get wild horse poo off it. I told him that could be considered testing the putting surface and I wanted to penalize him. He just told me I cant always get what I want and made the putt from 50 feet. Who was right?

Well Mick, unless he was intending to test the surface, then he can clean his ball on the green. To avoid any misunderstanding, I simply suggest you use other methods for cleaning your balls. Perhaps you could even lick your balls to clean them as this would be clear what you’re doing.
