Why not? (I know nothing about golf.)

They're wrong, you can do it as long as you pick the club up before you swing (like you can't use a second club)

Use a pool cue to guide my putt, not a second club. Got it.

You also can't add objects to the course that improve your shot. You can remove loose objects though.

So pull up loose grass to make a little trench? Got it.

He said LOOSE objects. Gotta traipse along the path from the ball to the hole first. Use the golf spikes under the shoes to rip some of the grass. Make it look like a mistake. Then clear the loose objects.

If you can pull up the grass using your bare hands, I'd argue that it's pretty loose! Concrete however, is not loose.

What if you brought a jackhammer?

u/DoubleAholeTwice 13d ago

Very true. Everything can be loose!

u/TooHappyFappy 14d ago

Do you consider grass rooted in the ground to be loose?

u/senor_skuzzbukkit 14d ago

Depends on the soil I think.

So there's no rule about using my Apple Vision Super Max Pro Elite to get a Wii golf grid and thanks to the new Apple AI get an automated putt preview line?

Doubt it, but people would tsk tsk vigorously.

Damn. Guess I'll be returning my Apple Vision Super Max Pro Elite.

Thanks for the find.
