Rule 1-1 My group allows "Gimmies"

QUESTION:

Dave's group allows players to pick up the ball, without holing it, when it is "inside" the leather. What is the Rule for allowing "gimmies"? Are they allowed under the Rules of Golf?

We all do it when we are out on the course having a round but is it against the rules? Find out here.

Happy golfing and remember the Rules of Golf Matter
