The Golf touchdown

Geschrieben von: Christoph Knapp | |

What does it mean if you are not allowed to put the golf club down?

In order to answer this question, we must first answer the question of what the golf club touchdown actually means. Before every golf shot, you are allowed to place the golf club behind the ball on the ground with your full weight. For many golfers, this is part of the shot routine and preparation. When the golf club is placed on the ground, the blades of grass behind the golf balls are touched and the ball could easily move out of position. You should therefore take particular care here! For this very reason, the rules of golf also prohibit putting the club down in an obstacle! Find out about the penalties and the exact situations in the official rules of golf.

Answer:

So if you are not allowed to put a club down, this means that it is forbidden by the rules to put the golf club down on the ground behind the ball. This is particularly difficult for golf beginners, as they lose stability in the entire swing. It is therefore advisable not to get into the habit of gripping the golf grip correctly when putting the golf club down. Try to grip the handle behind the ball when aiming and only use the set-up to align the club for the last time. This will make it easier for you in the rough or in the bunker and you won't have to forfeit any penalty strokes.
