| Hi jq
The short answer is yes, you must have seen the top players on TV doing just that.
Here is the relevant decision from the R&A Decisions Book.
14-3/12 Club Used as Plumb-Line
Q. May a player use his putter as a plumb-line to assist him in determining the slope on a putting green?
A. Yes. Use of a club in this manner is traditionally accepted and Exception 2 to Rule 14-3 applies. (Revised)
