The rules of golf are difficult! Fortunately we have the guru. Our guy rules know the book from the front to the back. Do you have a question? He has all the answers.
Our club is a more than 50 community and many players struggle to get their ball out of the cup. We have installed that balh -relevant device on the pin. Incorrect use can increase the surrounding soil, creating a volcano cup that rejects slower puts. I repair this damage by stamping around the cup with my putter and make sure I don’t make a fungi. Yet some say that this is illegal or that I have to declare that I see damage before I tamping. —Fred Reininger, Tucson, Ariz.
The question “Volcano Hole” makes rules in general erupt.
To our non-so-wowed opinion, many try to obtain permission to tampe permission to tampe. However, your application seems legitimate and according to rule 13.1c (2), if the gap is clearly damaged and that damage has been created by a person or influence from outside (such as by someone who uses the Bal-Retrieval device), the damage can be repaired.
If the player goes beyond reasonable actions to restore the green to his original conditions, then rule 8.1 applies.

During a tournament match, my partner hit his driver in frustration after a large slice, so that the shaft shattered just above the Hoseladapter. Fortunately, the manufacturer of his driver on site was a demo day and we were about to make turn; My partner was able to switch on the spot in a new axis. I know he can repair a club that was damaged during a round, but is getting a new axis to connect to the original club head a repair or a replacement? – Robert Black, Johns Creek, GA.
The Lucky Streak of your angry partner is also broken.
In the latest rules update you can continue to use or repair a damaged club under Rule 4.1a (2) without unreasonable delay – it does not matter how the damage occurred. So far, so good … apart from the ‘repair’ of a club is limited to its original components, so switching in a new axis would go beyond what is allowed when repairing the club.
The new Local Rule G-9 model is excluded from replacing a club damaged by an act of anger or abuse. In these circumstances, any stroke that was made with a replaced club would result in disqualification (although there is no fine for wearing the incorrectly repaired club and then not use it for the rest of the round). Guy rules to think to think how angry that would make him.
