Ask Linda #415a-Adding lead tape

Linda, is this [putting a band-aid on the face of your putter] different than lead tape on a driver?
Thank you,
Lou

Dear Lou,

Yes. You are permitted to attach lead tape to the clubhead or the shaft to adjust the weight of your club [Decision 4-1/4]. You must do this before the start of your round. You may not remove the tape or add more during the round. If it falls off, you must try to put it back in the same location. You may continue to use the club without the tape if you fail in your efforts to reattach it [Decision 4-2/0.5].

Adhesive bandages, basically because they are temporary and easy to remove, are not permitted [Decision 4-1/5].

Linda
