Is a putter needed for Nasty Junk: A Serious Discussion
A point for "Nasty" Junk is earned when a player holes out from off the green for par or better. Since the purpose of junk is to reward exceptional play, Nasty Junk, sometimes called simply a 'nasty', is a popular and preferred Junk.
There has been some debate about whether a nasty can be earned when the player holes out from off the green with a putter. Some players have argued that a nasty should only be awarded when a 'non-putter club' (NPC) is used to make the stroke. To make this determination, we must revisit 2 of the Fundamental Rules of Junk.
Our first task is to determine if the use of the putter would make the hole out so routine that it would no longer be an exceptional shot. This would not be the case as the hole could not be so close to the edge of the green to make any hole out probable, even for pros.
Secondly, the Junk should not give such an incentive, on balance, that a player might alter his normal course of play solely for the Junk advantage. In this case, there could be an number of times that a player, who might feel slightly better using a putter, might select a NPC to complete the stroke. This is a strong argument for allowing the Junk to be earned with any club.
As such the GJA has decided that a nasty can be earned with any club, including a putter.
