What's the rule regarding putting out on a temporary green?

zuluboy

I shot my best round ever last week a 76 (5 over par) playing off 22, yes I know it's a bit mad.

Anyway I was wondering if I could take another shot off it.
The final hole had a temporary green due to work being carried out on the proper green.
It was a par 4 and I hit my 4th shot from off the green to 6 inches which was conceded so I marked it down as a 5.
However I'm not sure I need to count the last shot as somebody said you only have to get it within one club length of the hole for it to be considered holed.
Any thoughts?

5 over par off 22 !!!!. Exactly what part of Mexico are you from....???
Thats 53 s/ford points.. never heard the like of it. No gimmies allowed.
Hole everything out. That so called rule with regard to it been considered
holled if within a club lenght is horse manure... best advise.. buy a rule book.. they are cheap and you can afford it after cleaning out you mates at the weekend.

76 nett, 98 Gross - right? Would be well short of 53 points

I would presume that the one club length thing is that if you get the ball inside this distance, the next shot is conceded. However, that's only a guess...
For it to be a proper competition, I doubt that such a 'rule' is allowed, certainly in any qualifying strokeplay type event.

And shooting 76 off 22....gross?

No, it's 54 nett, 76 gross.

I had got down to 16 3/4 years ago when I was playing regularly but the arrival of 2 small children meant I've only played 2/3 rounds each year for the last few years. This was only my 2nd round of the year and my last round was in April.
I played a 2nd round that day and grossed 92 but I wasn't really concentrating as I knew after 2 holes that I wouldn't better the mornings effort!

54 nett, leave it so.
If it was qualifying, you'll lose about 7 shots off that handicap.
My head hurts.

lol, serious shooting today.

That being said my playing partner was +3 for nine from 20 today, although duly rectified it on the back nine.

54 Stableford points is ridiculous though.

1. You should count the gimme

2. The first rule of golf is you cannot agree to ignore any of the rules of golf.

Yes you have to count it as a 5, again it's a local rule and generally speaking it means when you get to within 1 club length it's considered to be holed out on your next stroke. e.g you drive the same temp green to within a club length, so you got a 2 on that hole not 1.
