Can you hit a golf ball with the back of your club without being penalized?


Rate This Answer

A stroke is a forward movement of the club made with the intention of striking the ball. If you go through with the swing it's a stroke, even if you miss the ball. There is no penalty if a ball falls or is nudged off a tee before the forward stroke begins. You can't push, scrape or "spoon" the ball. There has to be a back swing, no matter how short, and a forward swing.
