The Cart Path

12:11 pm May 31, 2009

According to the rules of golf, you typically get free relief (no
penalty) when your ball lies on an artificially surfaced pathway,
specifically a cart path.

However, there are times when the relief you get is worthless
because it puts your ball in an undesired location, like a tangled
grassy area.

Sometimes your only option is to make the shot from the actual cart
path, which is the lesser of evils (in terms of choices).

When shooting from the cart path, there are two things you should
definitely NOT do:

1. Never use your putter. Although the cart path is firm, using a
putter to hit the ball can be disastrous. For example, the road on the
famous St. Andrews course is made from tiny little pebbles. They
can causes balls to roll in various directions, wobbling the entire
way.

2. Never send the ball airborne. Don’t use a high lofted club from a
firm rocky road. It’s best to use a wedge in these types of situations.
