Hello Everyone!
I have a question about a rule. I recently played with a golfer who had a unique way of lining up shots with the green. before his shot he would step in front of the ball and make a swing (causing a divot) a foot or two in front of his ball. He would then line up his line of flight with the divot he just made in the fairway. My question is, is this legal? I know I use marks and dead spots in the fairway to line up my shots, but I do not intentionally make any marks. I think for a beginning golfer this was a great idea for him to use, but I am just not sure on the rule.
Thanks
