I see no need for a 10 meter circle in our game now.
The basic rule should be that you must have a supporting point behind your lie when you release your shot and no supporting points in front of your lie before you release.
This would make all shots from tee to pin fall under the same guidelines, and simplify any in-round rulings that people need to make regarding proper putting form or where the "circle" starts.
Am I wrong here? Is there a good reason for the putting circle?
