Played on a pretty wet greens today. Had a miserable round, but that is a different story.
Had 1 birdie opportunity, but the putt rolled smoothly towards the hole, only to bounce of an unrepaired pitch mark and miss the hole. My partner thought I should have repaired the pitch mark (not caused by me), but i thought I cannot repair a pitch mark if it is in my line of putt before putting as it may be considered improving the line.
After the round, we checked with the Pro, his view; You can repair pitch marks, but not spike marks.
Question:
1) If there is a pitch mark in the line of putt, can I repair it.
a) if it was caused by me
b) if it was not caused by me
2) What about spike marks? Is the pro right?
