I think he was making a joke. "If I say this beach is safe to surf, it’s safe to surf." Of course, I could be wrong

It was the official that was on the green at the time. I don’t know who it was. I heard the official say "You can use a towel if I say you can use a towel". Was it Robert Duval??
I love the smell of guano on a towel…smells like….Victory!!!!
Response:
How many of us wankers out there have done the same thing, wipe the shit with the putter and then rub it off in the grass off the green, hit the face with a towel and then miss the 10 footer.
How about this strategy: miss the putt first, then wipe the shit with the putter. Come one, the stick deserves it Ulrich

From Decesion 16-1a/8 Q. A player touches his line of putt in brushing aside loose impediments with his cap or with a towel. Is this permissible? A. No. Such action is a breach of Rule 16-1a, which permits the player to touch his line of putt in removing loose impediments only with his hand or a club. Seems pretty clear to me. So how come, after Langer consulted with the Rules official, his caddie got to use a towel to brush the bird shit off of the line of his putt? Are these guys making up the rules as they go or what????? Even the announcers seemed dumbfounded and Frank Hannigan didn’t seem to be able to explain it away either.

Loose means "having relative freedom of movement." I wouldn’t consider most bird crap to be "loose." I had some on my car that took me a good 2 minutes to get off.
Response:
Seems to me the correct answer is, scoop up the bird shit with your putter and then have your caddy wipe it off the putter with his shirt tail, or towel if he prefers. How many of us wankers out there have done the same thing, wipe the shit with the putter and then rub it off in the grass off the green, hit the face with a towel and then miss the 10 footer. No brainer
