Rules question · Rule 10.2a · Medium

Can I give another player a swing tip?

In stroke play another player is struggling with their slice. You tell them their stance is too open. What is the ruling?

Answer

You get two penalty strokes

Giving advice is just as prohibited as asking for it. The player who gives it gets the penalty, so in this case you. You may, however, give advice to your partner in foursomes or four-ball.
