b. Wrong Information
A player must not give wrong information to his opponent. If a
player gives wrong information, he loses the hole. |
Nope...
From USGA Rules Of Golf
"Advice"
"“Advice” is any counsel or suggestion that could influence a
player in determining his play, the choice of a club or the
method of making a stroke.
Information on the Rules, distance or matters of public information,
such as the position of hazards or the flagstick on the putting
green, is not advice."
Not sure exactly, but either your opponent is not allowed to ask you or you are not allowed to tell your opponent which club you hit...
