Cover up

Why?

If the information was any use to him (ie he knew what he was doing) he would be able to tell which iron I was playing from the head shape etc anyway - it's not rocket science!
 
Part of having the honour is going into the unknown


If someone wants to follow what I do fair enough

From experience it’s more about what not to hit... from casual games and chit chat of course not in a comp.

Usual scenario is playing an unfamiliar course, spying the local has pulled out two clubs more, if we have hit similar clubs all round then they know something I don’t!
 
Would only consider concealling the iron if it was obvious he felt that it gave him the advantage, and he was attempting to gain the information to create for himself, an advantage.We all hit different clubs different yardages but after 9 holes it should become obvious who is the longer, and by how many clubs, so it may be of advantage later in the round. if the game is close,and even more so if your opponent is playing away.Playing at your home course, against a home member should negate any advantage as both should be aware of the yardages and have played shots from all locations numerous times.
 
If you were playing a knock-out and at a par 3 you had the honour, would you cover up your clubs with a towel or something similar so your opponent couldn't see what club you were using?

Are you thinking of inventing a new product to aid amateur golfers with this tricky situation!

Assuming I'm in a match, this doesn't apply to social stuff, I'll only hide them or half pull out a different one to what I hit if I'm playing with a 'peeker' - it's amusing to mislead them. Normal folks don't give a monkeys and just get on with their game.
 
As I am not a long hitter I hope my opponent does sneak a peek as it might well cast doubt on his decision as to which club he should hit

You and me both. Not sure I'm any sort of guide. Similarly playing pairs matches and I ask my partner or vice versa its usually a futile exercise as the clubbing is often totally different
