Hello All,
I have a question about a shot today. I played with my normal partner this evening after work. We played on a course that was too wet in my opinion ( heavy rain a day ago). At any rate, I am 110 yards from the green and I strike it perfectly with my pitch wedge. The ball lands within a foot from the pin. No roll or bounce. I knew it was a good shot but didn't realize how good until I starting walking towards it. My partner was closer than I and asked how was I going to finish the putt. I laughed until I got onto the green. The ball had buried itself up to the halfway point into the green. The other greens had been soft but at least the ball would release a bit.
I couldn't putt it out of the divot and I really wanted to make par. After a brief discussion, we decided that I would remove the ball and mark the position right beside the divot/hole. I would putt out but take an extra stroke which put me over by 1. My question is... How was I supposed to play that putt?
