Linda:
Since the matter of cleaning a ball when lifted on the
putting green, and the matter of lifting when there is interference came up
here [Ask Linda #512], it might be worthwhile mentioning Rule 21, which prohibits
cleaning a ball when lifted for interference from a place off the
putting green.
You do a great job and I look forward to your email Q's and
A's.
Lou from Georgia
Dear Lou,
Good suggestion. I will edit #512 to include the prohibition
against cleaning your ball when it must be lifted because it interferes with
another golfer’s play anywhere on the course except the putting green. This
prohibition is also included in Rule 22-2.
Thanks, Lou.
Linda
