So my ball is on the green and a person in my group says you will have to move that (the ball) as its on my line.
At this point I have not marked the ball, it is still there on the green.
I therefore get my putter, put it next to the ball and move the ball to the end of the puttter. I then mark the ball
With a marker in the new position. The other player says this is technically incorrect. I should have marked the ball, removed the ball then moved the marker over. The way I did it was 1shot penalty! I've checked the rules and I'm now not sure.
