Linda, on the putting green can we clear away wet bird poop on the line of putt? This happened today and we weren't sure of the ruling
Thanks
Lulu
Dear Lulu,
Bird poop (wet or dry) is a loose impediment (pardon the unintended pun) anywhere on the golf course [Definition of Loose Impediments]. You may remove it.
If there is bird poop sticking to your ball, then on the putting green you may clean it off your ball. Elsewhere you may not.
Linda
