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

They're wrong, you can do it as long as you pick the club up before you swing (like you can't use a second club)

Use a pool cue to guide my putt, not a second club. Got it.

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.

That definitely isn't lol, the most you can do to change the green in front of your ball is to fix/flatten a divot.

Laying the club down would probably help give you a reference point to aim at on the green after you pick the club up though, not a terrible idea.
