Who can give me advice during a round? Can my parent or coach help?

Q: Who can give me advice during a round? Can my parent or coach help?

During a round you must not (Rule 10.2a): Ask anyone for advice except your caddie Give advice to anyone in the competition who's playing on the course Touch another player's equipment to find out what they're using (for example, looking in their bag to see which club they hit) So a parent, coach or friend who isn't your caddie can't advise you on club choice, strategy or how to play a shot. Penalty: the general penalty (two strokes in stroke play, loss of hole in match play). This doesn't apply before the round, between rounds, or while play is suspended. Caddies: you may have one caddie at a time (Rule 10.3a). The Committee may prohibit caddies or restrict who can caddie through a Local Rule (Model Local Rule H-1); many junior events do, so check the terms of the competition. People walking with you, or carrying an umbrella or snacks, aren't your caddie unless you name them as one. No one other than your caddie may help with your line of play, except by pointing out public information such as a tree on the line of a blind fairway (Rule 10.2b(2)).
