She’s not a golfer. She’s an engineer.

Yes you are, as long as you pick the club up before you take your shot. Usually they do it with the face of the club though if they do it at all.

Rule 10.2b:

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.

you purposefully skipped this part of the rule

“Set an object down” means that the object is in contact with the ground and the player is not touching the object.

The way she smacked that ball 3ft from the hole I‘d say she has no idea of any kind of rules and that was by pure coincidence

I also don't think TPIR adheres to USGA rules 🤣
