Not quite the same, really. In golf, you can mark your ball on the green to be able to clean it, but you have to put the ball back in the exact same place it was.

The only way to legally resituate it would be if you'd rather have the logo facing a different way than when you lifted. For example, I like to putt with the logo facing me and if it is not facing me when I mark, I can reposition it that way.

But now I'm rambling about the marking rule and will turn the thread back to you chess folks.
