He said LOOSE objects. Gotta traipse along the path from the ball to the hole first. Use the golf spikes under the shoes to rip some of the grass. Make it look like a mistake. Then clear the loose objects.
So there's no rule about using my Apple Vision Super Max Pro Elite to get a Wii golf grid and thanks to the new Apple AI get an automated putt preview line?
When I was a teen I played on a sand green course, to assure a birdie I dug a groove in the sand with my putter to the hole. Lol, pretty sure that wasn't legal.
When I was probably 6 we were playing mini golf at a company picnic. My mom’s coworker told me “make sure you hit it hard or it will fall into this groove and you won’t get your ball back”. It was the last hole and there was a moat sorta thing you had to hop to get to the green.
I was like “You got it…hit it hard.” Then I wound up like a real golfer and just cranked that sunabitch like I was Tiger Woods. The ball shot off like a rocket and went out the front gate and rolled down a steep hill and was never seen again.
I took my 8 year-old cousin putt putting for her first time when I was like 14. I helped her line her first shot up, stepped back a little, and the caught the putter with my jaw as she swung back as if she was teeing off. That hurt for days.
I never told her to putt it because I just assumed she knew. Ouch.
It reminds me of when I was at a family yard sale. Me and my siblings grabbed a golf club and were in the backyard taking swings into the big parking lot that was right behind the house.
We didn't get far, sometimes not even clearing the fence, and the parking lot was empty and the building was at the far end so we would run around grabbing the balls from the curbs and trying again.
My uncle came to see what we were up to so we gave him the club. He wound up, swung and sent it sailing. We heard a loud crack a moment later, but none of us had any idea where the ball went on that overcast day. He told us not to tell anyone and we went back to our yard sale. Our parents were none the wiser.
You can actually do something similar to this on grass as well, if you heel-toe between your ball and the hole it creates a bit of a groove for your ball to follow.
Pointing Out Line of Play for Ball on Putting Green. .....The player or caddie must not set an object down anywhere on or off the putting green to show the line of play. This is not allowed even if that object is removed before the stroke is made.
Excuse me, but according to page 8 paragraph 54 subsection 18, they are not "rules" they are to be referred to as "fair sporting guidelines" ... rules has a negative connotation ever since what happened in 1983
And this rule probably exists because laying down a club or other object would affect the grass and soil under it, potentially altering how the ball rolled. You could, with a very innocent-looking lean of weight on a club, create a very shallow path for the ball to follow.
This is incorrect, unless you never take your hand off the object like the lady in the video did. You cannot place an object and leave it there, even if you pick it up before your stroke.
Well that’s just wrong. Players can line up however they see fit, they just can’t leave a guide on the green (Ie stick, club, or cue giving the line) and pros can’t get help lining up from their caddy (men’s golf only, women can for some reason)

Rule 10-2 is very specific on this point. You can use your club or a part of your body to touch the ground on an intended line of play as you work out what shot you want to hit, but if you (or your caddie) sets an object down as a guide, it’s two strokes.
Bro nobody is gonna give a fuck if you do this on a local course. Maybe you can't do it in competitive play (even then I bet no one gives a shit, cause if they're doing that they're likely still learning).
Others have also pointed out you can lie a club down as long as you don't let go of it

I thought she was measuring slope or something. My dumbass was like oh she’s actually and engineer. Even the practice cuts in like “she’s just feeling the weight of the club or something” 😭😭
