Legal to chip or pitch on the Green?

Hi all,

Please advice. Any penalty incurred?

Cheers

I thought we are allowed to use any club but cannot take divots on putting surface.

My 2 cents worth...and I might be wrong.

Thanks Ben,

Nice video..is the green covered with snow or something?

Cheers

yups the green is covered with hail - pieces of ice
see http://weather.about.com/od/h/g/hail.htm

from what i know from someone is u're allowed to do that on green too, not taking divot is to protect the green. plz correct me if i'm wrong.

Unless one is pro and is also pro at relating divot , best don chip


Will also affect other ppl putting

Hmmm if alrdy so close to hole... Putting is advisable

Ball to pin at the point time is approx 7-9m with steep up slope. Putting will be challenging.

So my understanding now is there is no rules and penalty to say that you can not chip on Green or it depends on the club's rules also

Cheers

Recently, i seen someone using a wedge on green was not for chipping tho.. It was because his SC solo was misbehaving and he gave up on the putter and choose to use a 60d wedge. I think he putt better after that.

Yes you can guys..

Just make sure you repair the chip mark..

Check this Zach Johnson chip on green...

my understanding is that you can chip and even make divots there is no rule against that...BUT the greenskeeper and people behind you are going to kill you if you make a big divot on the green so i guess its more of an etiquette thing

no penalty by the rule book..dunno how the flight behind is going to putt with the patch up divots though lol..club rules usually will not allow for commercial and complain management purposes

Phil Mickleson chipped on the green last year at Sentosa Barclays, I believe my brother took a video of that. Don't think its against the rules but like others have pointed out, its quite bad etiquette as the next flight after you might be affected.

You are allowed to chip on the green. Jenny Shin did it in the playoff with Angela Standford, Fan Shan Shan and NYC in during the last HSBC Singapore Open in Tanah Merah ...

seems one can use any club anywhere on the golf course during the game as long as u stick to the 14 clubs in bag rule.. some jokers even can tee off w a putter... see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ZA5kG7qJ4&feature=related

It is not against the rules, but if you do take a divot you better repair nicely or the Green keeper will chop your arms off....

A chipper club will not do much damage as it has a very wide sole as opposed to a real wedge.. (Chippers were invented for those who cannot chip )

You can chip anywhere but, what made u think chip is a easier shot than putt? The pro chip most likely because there's something on the green that they think putt will be harder...

Phil Mickelson did a flop shot on the green

i do not think it is a foul play

I guess most of us better dun think about this cos 99% we will dig out the green, not so nice to other golfer.....putting usually yield better result
