can you mark your ball in the fairway?
I think I asked this before but can't find the thread (if I even made one). If you have a line on your ball and want to use the line to line up with the hole out of the fairway like you do on the green? Can you mark your ball and rotate it and put it back? Thanks

a) you are asked to so by another player because your ball might assist or interfere with his play (but you cannot clean your ball), or
b) you are playing under local rules that allow lift, clean and place.
If you are lifting and marking outside of the putting green under one of these conditions, then you are permitted to align your ball as you see fit when you replace it.[COLOR=green][B]Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music comes out of bagpipes.[/B][/COLOR]

El Tigre:
If we are going to assume facts not in the original question, then perhaps we should consider other situations where the player may legally lift and replace his ball lying in the fairway in play, without incurring any penalty strokes:- R. 5-3
- R. 12-2
- R. 18-1, R. 18-3, R. 18-4, R. 18-5
- R. 20-6
- Dec. 25/21
- Dec. 25-2/7

The ball must be played as it lies, except as otherwise provided in the Rules.
I start working on Monday, April 3 (The Meadows).
I wouldn't expect the course to be open for a couple of weeks yet, but I will know more next week.

Gary Hill, I don't know what you do at Meadows, but please pass on my thanks, for a job well done, to the staff at your course. I have had nothing but good experiences when playing there because of the courtesy of the marshals.

I am Fleet Supervisor for 170 electric and gas golf carts.
I have nothing to do with the marshals other than coaxing them into dragging dead carts off the course for me.
I will pass on your compliment to Darrell Buchanan (Director of Golf).

the way the pros pickup and hold their golfballs when required to mark and lift them when off the green , would make me think they have to replace the ball exactly the way they found it ....
so id assume you cant align the makers name etc ?
and as you cant clean the ball , i assume you cant rotate a mud splattered ball to give you a clean area to hit ?

Kiwi Battler:
The rules provide safeguards about the lie of the ball, the player's stance and the player's intended area of swing.
The rules also provide safeguards regarding when the player is permitted to clean the ball.
The rules are silent about how the player may orient the ball when replacing it. He can't tee the ball up by placing the mud-side down because that would improve the lie. Hence, the ruling follows accordingly.
Simple enough, eh?
