Hi Linda,
In better ball match play, if a player is clearly out of the
hole (example lying 7 on the green where partner & opponents are lying 4),
can he putt just to show his partner the line?
Thanks,
Lou from Melbourne, Australia
Dear Lou,
If the player’s putt
has not been conceded, he may putt. If it has been conceded, and his putt will
assist his partner’s play (in this case, by showing him the line), his partner
will be disqualified from the hole if the player putts before his partner
[Decision 2-4/6].
Linda
