i just don't understand how that would help the second shot though.


Player 1 left his ball on the green on the high side of the hole, so that in case player 2 hit his chip a little too hard, it could potentially hit player one's ball and stop right next to the hole.

I once knew a team that got Dqd from a 4 ball for doing this. It happened early in the round and the guys they were olaying with told them to mark the ball from then on or they would inform the rules committee. The guys backstopping did it like 4 more times and were Dqd after the round. They didnt think it was against the rules.
