My understanding is that the decision is a matter for individual club committees. You won’t get a definitive answer here because of that. Best bet is to ask your handicap secretary.

To recycle a previous answer I gave to a not dissimilar question:
Many committees will stipulate who can and cannot be a marker for another player (e.g. must be playing in the same competition, must have a handicap) but in the absence of such stipulation it can be anybody - playing or non-playing.
Check your Committee's requirements.

Marker
In stroke play the person responsible for entering a player’s score on the player’s scorecard and for certifying that scorecard.The marker may be another player, but not a partner.
The Committee may identify who will be the player’s marker or tell the players how they may choose a marker.
In the absence of the last two sentences. there are no other restrictions.

Our club rule is that the player must have a handicap or be someone approved by a member of the committee.

Noting that it is a "club rule", not a Rule of golf or rule of handicapping.

We’ve been through this before- a marker is not a referee, so Rules knowledge is not a requirement. And a marker is not an accountant, so counting is not a requirement. Upon completion of the hole, the marker asks the player what the player scored and writes that on the scorecard, then signs the card at the end of the round. If the marker has any concerns about the score(s), they bring it to the attention of the Committee to deal with.

We had this discussion a few months ago. Let's not go back over old ground so soon.
Attesting a Score for Handicap
Hello all, Couple of mates and I were having a chat about this topic with nobody really knowing the exact rules. Player A goes out to play a round of golf. They are playing as a single ball but have a member walking round with them who has a handicap but not actually playing due to injury or...
