Dear Linda,
I was playing in partner match play event. Our opponents
were “Sue” and “Mary.” Sue was on the green lying 2. Mary was on the green
lying 4 and she was away. Mary putted her ball sideways so she could be behind
Sue, nowhere near in the direction of the hole. We gave Mary her putt. Is this
ethical? Is this legal?

Dear Lulu,
It is neither legal nor ethical. Please read my answer to
