No, you cannot ask a player to leave his ball on the green.
In golf, it is considered unsportsmanlike to ask another player to leave their ball on the green. This is because it can:
- Influence their shot: Leaving the ball on the green can create a distraction or pressure on the player, potentially affecting their shot.
- Impact the course: Leaving the ball on the green can interfere with other players' play, especially if it's in the line of their putt.
- Violate the rules of golf: The rules of golf explicitly state that a player must remove their ball from the green after finishing their hole.
It is important to note that:
- While you cannot ask a player to leave their ball on the green, you can politely request that they move their ball to a less obstructive position if it is interfering with your shot.
- You should always follow the rules of golf and be respectful of other players.
