A girl my daughter played with in a tournament placed her ball on the green, picked up her marker, stood behind the ball to line up put, returned to her ball and touched the ball to line up the mark on her ball. Can you touch the ball once your marker is picked? If not, what is the penalty? Along these lines I have a question.

I think the prohibition against engaging the ground area, from a player's ball to the hole, is to protect from altering the surface in some way not allowed for in the rules. i.e. loose debris or ball pitch marks.

Can I use my putter shaft held horizontal over the ball with the grip pointing along the intended line of the shot, so as to help align the aiming line on the ball. The putter never touches the ground. I just use it as a straight edge to visually extend the line on the ball. Ok how about this?
