Rules: Repairing A Pitch Mark

Your ball is on the fringe and there is a pitch mark in front of your ball.  Can you repair it?

[toggle title_open=”Hide Answer” title_closed=”Show Answer” hide=”yes” border=”yes” style=”default”]

No, no, no.  Doing so will cost you a two stroke penalty.

During a 2016 US Open qualifier, an amateur finished one stroke shy of getting into a playoff for one of four coveted spots to go to the big stage at Oakmont.  

USGA Rule 13-2 states a player cannot improve his lie if the mark is in "his line of play".

13-2. Improving Lie, Area of Intended Stance or Swing, or Line of Play

A player must not improve or allow to be improved:

  • the position or lie of his ball,
  • the area of his intended stance or swing,
  • his line of play or a reasonable extension of that line beyond the hole, or
  • the area in which he is to drop or place a ball,

by any of the following actions:

  • pressing a club on the ground,
  • moving, bending or breaking anything growing or fixed (including immovable obstructions and objects defining out of bounds),
  • creating or eliminating irregularities of surface,
  • removing or pressing down sand, loose soil, replaced divots or other cut turf placed in position, or
  • removing dew, frost or water.

However, the player incurs no penalty if the action occurs:

  • in grounding the club lightly when addressing the ball,
  • in fairly taking his stance,
  • in making a stroke or the backward movement of his club for a stroke and the stroke is made,
  • in creating or eliminating irregularities of surface within the teeing ground or in removing dew, frost or water from the teeing ground, or
  • on the putting green in removing sand and loose soil or in repairing damage (Rule 16-1).

Read the article on the infraction at GolfChannel.com.

While we are on the subject of improving one's lie, be careful about standing on a semi-buried rock or acorn and using your feet to scrape the ground and dislodge them.  You may be called out for improving your lie since neither is a loose impediment.
