THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

May you push or drag a ball into the golf hole?

In a stroke play situation, Larry casually attempted to putt/tap-in his ball which was only 8 inches from the hole, for a par-4. His putter hit the ground and stopped. He then pushed the ball into the hole with his putter. That's when the big discussion started. After all, we were playing for $1.00 a hole.

What is the correct ruling?

A. Larry contended that the initial putt/tap-in did not count as it wasn't a full "swing"/putt. His tap-in push putt holed out for a par-4.

B. Larry's putt that hit the ground and stopped should be counted as a putt. His "push in putt" should be counted as a putt. Larry holed out with a bogey 5.

C. Larry's putt that hit the ground should be counted as a putt. His "push in putt" should be counted, but the rules prohibit such action, so add a penalty stroke. Larry holed out with a double bogey 6.

D. Larry's putt that hit the ground should be counted as a putt. His "push in putt" should be counted, but the rules prohibit such action, the penalty is 2 strokes. Larry holed out with a triple bogey 7.
