Re: Windy putting conditions.....leave marker down?
In order to cancel the address you have to mark, lift and replace the ball. By doing that you have temporarily taken the ball out of play, so the fact that you had previously addressed it has no bearing. Just marking it has no effect on the penalty.
The other option you have is not to ground the club. In that case you haven't addressed the ball, so any movement caused by the wind or gravity is just fate, and no penalty is assessed.
