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 his putter that it will
miss the hole by a wide margin, he may replay the putt, without assessing a stroke,
provided he rakes the ball back to its original position before it stops rolling
and then, reassuming his stance, conveys by the gravity of his demeanour 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 and concentration that befits a serious attempt to
propel the golf ball into the absolute dead centre of the hole.
