  • Maximum number of strokes to hole the ball is 6
  • If 6 strokes are made and the ball hasn’t been holed an additional point should be added i.e. 7 points
  • If a ball escapes the hole it should be repositioned at the point where is exited the boundary of the hole
  • If a ball comes to rest directly against the boundary of the hole it can be repositioned no further than the length of the putter head from the boundary
