Blind shot: can someone show me the line?
Your approach to the putting green is blind because of a hill in front of it. Another player stands on the hill so that you can see the direction. What is the ruling?
Answer
They may stand there but must move away before your stroke
Except on the putting green, someone may stand in a position for you to play towards, but must move away before you make the stroke. If they stay, you get two penalty strokes. The same applies to your caddie. On the putting green nobody may stand as a target.
