Golf does have some strange rules. To me the dumbest one is rule 16-1a/13, not allowing you to fix a spike mark.
You gotta play the green your ball lands on and not mess with the integrity of a green otherwise guys would be patting down every imperfection slowing play to a crawl. Soft spikes shouldn't rip up a green as bad as the metal ones.
You gotta play the green as it lies other than a ball mark which is considered a
potential defect.
