I know you can't ask another player on the tee what club they used, but a few weeks ago I was playing in a comp with a guy I know quite well who plays off 4. We were on a par 5, I had played my second shot and walked up with the other guy chatting as we went. He played his second with a long iron and found the green in two. I said 'great shot mate, was that a 4 iron?' without even thinking about it, which he confirmed, thanked me and we carried on with our round. It only occurred to me afterwards that I may have broken a rule by asking him which club he had used, or does it only apply on the tee when you both have the same distance to go?
