    If a course doesn't want someone to screw up their greens by chipping, then don't create greens where there are spots that only chipping can solve.

      It's very lightly that the management and staff didn't have any input when it came to the design of courses and I can assure you that If you were seen pitching on the Greens you would be asked to leave at once that's my opinion regarding this rule. I know if a ball lies on a green not in play, you must take a free drop not nearer to the pin, why bother with that rule or has that been scrapped since COVID 19 as well

    The socks on cart path thing is a no-brainer, albeit a bit of a strange sight.
    Player must have felt that his shoes (maybe plastic cleats) felt slippery on the cart path. Probably felt it would disrupt his swing. Guarantee those socks gripped the sidewalk and he had a solid foundation the whole time.

      Some might consider it bad form to do it, but as its not illegal under the rules of the game they have no justification to stop you or eject you. It's every bit as legal as hitting any other shot anywhere else on the course.
