Cover up

[Rlburnside]

When I saw the title I thought it was about the Xmas card thread

 

[williamalex1]

They would probably spot my driver head cover lying

 

[HomerJSimpson]

No. I'm a short hitter and if my opponent saw what I was using he'd probably burst out laughing anyway

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Never, each person hitting different distance with different club.

This. If anything if I wanted to mess with the guys head I'd let him see my choice. I'm not a long hitter so it would confuse him horribly.

 

[xcore]

Is this even a thing?!

 

[duncan mackie]

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!

 

[chrisd]

As i clearly hit forum distance they'd NEVER hit the same club

Indeed. Inseem to remember always using more club than you (except off the tee of course...)

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!

 

[gazzadi]

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.

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

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

 

[Slab]

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!

 

[Spear-Chucker]

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.

 

[North Mimms]

Nope, if they used they same club as me they would go way over the back of the green!

 

[cookelad]

I just leave my bag on the left of the tee that way it’s too far away as my opponent will always be stood in the HNSP (or whatever it was called)

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

I can already see the No-C-Easy appearing on everyone's 2018 Christmas list.

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

I will quite happily let any opponent see the club I am playing as it will confuse the hell out of them.
