Match Play - Rules & Tips

The point is player A is possibly trying to influence player B by telling him directly or indirectly he hit a 6.
I wouldn't care if he was talking directly to me or not.
If you think about it, not many people will have a caddie so who else is player A talking to?
I take your point about the iron covers though

Sorry Bob, not convinced. The decision makes provision for saying something as long as it was said "casually". But, as I said before, quite how you determine that is open to interpretation (perhaps you need to be leaning nonchelantly on the grip end of the club?? )

Changed my mind with the iron covers.... has to be DQ

Lucky you aren't in charge then really.

I assume you have covers on your putter, fairways, hybrid, and driver? Why stop at just these?

I have never understood what it is about head covers that provokes such prejudice. They are only bits of neoprene after all. A bit like a hat for your clubs. It stops them clanking in the bag, and stops them getting bag chatter. What's the problem.

As you said "open to interpretation".
That's why I would never say anything until afterwards.
It leaves yourself wide open to arguements.
It's my experience that if some people get half a chance to claim a hole without hitting a shot, they will seize on it.
Play safe is my option and don't say anything.

100% in agreement with that.
