Re: Windy putting conditions.....leave marker down?
From watching The Open and seeing what a lot of players did, the R&A may have had a special Local Rule in place.
I saw a number of players address their ball on the green then walk away without marking it. So if the ball moved its a penalty
Would they take this risk?
I doubt it.
The R&A have a Rules Official with every Match at The Open so it would be easy to add a Local Rule "At any other time, except during the act of addressing the ball, if the ball is seen to be moved by the wind and not by the action of a player, no penalty will be incurred".
