Rules That Should Have Been?
No.1 - The Negligent Putt
If a player makes a hasty, tentative, or ill-considered stroke at a putt of six feet or less, and it is obvious from the moment the ball leaves the face of the putter that it will miss the hole by a wide margin, he may replay the putt, without assessing a stroke, providing he rakes the ball back to its original position before it stops rolling and then, reassuming his stance, conveys by the gravity of his demeanor and the painstaking deliberation with which he addresses the ball that, in sharp contrast to his earlier perfunctory and insincere effort, this re-putt will be undertaken with the unparalleled care ad concentration that befits a serious attempt to propel the golf ball into the absolute dead centre of the hole.
