Never a flatbelly
I posted this in another thread, but I thought it might get more eyes here....
Yesterday the 2012 rule change came into play for me. I was just addressing a putt, and a gust of wind blew up and my ball wiggled and rolled a quarter turn (toward the hole). Though apparently it doesn't matter, I hadn't yet grounded my putter. We all agreed the wind definitely did it, and I replaced the ball and proceeded w/o penalty. Checking the rule later, apparently I should have played the ball from the new position it blew into, so make that a heads-up for everyone in case it happens to you.
