The thing is, I've never seen a trainer do this since.

I recall foreign jocks walking the course before the Arlington International way back. They seem do it regularly on turf courses in Australia. The jocks and trainers will be out on the course trying to find the best path. I've seen trainers use a walking stick to poke.
