Another player’s bag: what are you allowed to do?
You still have your approach to the putting green to play and want to know which club another player just used. Which of these is allowed?
Answer
Looking into their bag without touching anything
Looking is allowed. But as long as you still have your stroke to play, you must not ask the other player or their caddie about the club, or touch their bag or clubs to find out. Each of these costs the general penalty.
