Practice Green etiquette

[bladehunter]

Yes putting to one hole is fine. Yes putting to the same hole as someone else is fine IF.... the green is full. If there’s 12 open holes and you go crowd the one guy in the corner. Youre a jerk. And lastly. “ the circuit “ isnt real thing unless the green is completely empty. You can find any shape break you want on any hole , just go around the clock. You don’t need to touch them all to get a feel.

Over the weekend I observed a guy at our practice green dressed like Indiana Jones drop about 3 dozen balls 5 feet from the green and start “chipping”. First one skulled about 40mph across the green. I guess he assumed that the problem was not swinging hard enough because the next one sailed across even hotter and skipped like a rock across the green, up a 10 foot hill, across a cart path and onto the first tee. The best part is he was hollering out something as soon as he hit it. My imagination still thinks he said “turds” and “double turds”.

This. for #4, the OP stipulated we assume chipping is allowed, so as long as you're going towards an edge of the green and not going towards someone, this is fine.
