conceeding a putt

[williamalex1]

In a 4bbb match play , a player is out of contention and is conceded a putt for say a 8. I think a concession can't be refused.
But can the player getting the concession still make a stroke towards the hole , giving his partner an idea of the line.
I know his partner can't stand directly behind him watching but he would still get some idea of breaks etc. Or must he lift the ball when conceded.?

Putting Out After Concession of Stroke


Rule 2-4 does not cover the question of whether a player may putt out after his next stroke has been conceded. A player incurs no penalty for holing out in such circumstances. However, if the act would be of assistance to a partner in a four-ball or best-ball match, the partner is, in equity (Rule 1-4), disqualified for the hole.

Watch your wording though?

I was playing a match against a newish high handicapper.
He had putted to about four feet and asked if that was all right.
I naturally thought he meant for marking as he was nearly on my line and got quite a surprise when he picked his ball up.

I played in a final of a 4bbb and one of the opposition was an obnoxious sod. My partner and I were on pretty much the same line and he argued that my partner wasn't allowed to putt as he couldn't halve or win the hole. I disagreed and he gave me the line, I duly missed my putt and happily told matey that if he simply conceded the putt we would have picked up, he wasn't amused!
