Anyone tried with the new rules a double hit to get around something???
Another great video from the Euro tour!
Yeah I'm thinking an intentional double hit probably breaks the intent of the rule. But a fun trick shot to have some fun with.I guess I'm still learning/seeing this rule for the first time. I expected the rule to be something like 2 hits can occur during the course of 1 swing (back swing and follow through). But it's clear that you can do almost anything you want after the first hit occurs.
I have did it by accident a few times but if I tried to do it on purpose it would end badly.
.2019 Rule: Under Rule 10.1a, if the player’s club accidentally hits the ball more than once during a single stroke:
Golf's New Rules: Major Changes
There will be no penalty and the ball will be played as it lies.
Reasons for Change:
Where a double hit occurs as part of a single stroke and was not the intention of the player, it was felt unfair and unnecessary for the player to be penalized.
Just as there is no penalty if a player’s ball accidentally deflects off his or her body, equipment or caddie, there is no need for a penalty when a player accidentally strikes his or her own ball in making a stroke.
Accidental deflections are, by definition, an accident.
The outcome in such cases is random and unpredictable, and it results in a disadvantage for the player as often as it results in an advantage
Not legal of course.Anyone tried with the new rules a double hit to get around something???
