On occasion, I do use my putter to extricate a ball from the wrong side of a tree. Therefore, if I were to use my left handed swing with the putter in such a situation, it would be deemed a "normal" stroke and any interference by a cartpath could be claimed as an obstacle. The same situation crops up at my club where we have a path next to and on the right side of a boundary fence. If I land in this small verge and try to use my putter, I stand on the path. My nearest point of relief is across the path on the green side (no closer to the pin), definitely advantageous for me but viewed with suspicion by others in my group who cannot claim the same privilege.

From what I understood, he carried a left handed club in his own bag. As long as he had 14 clubs or less, then he wasn’t illegal on this.
