I would imagine we all have our regular playing partners, groups, friends, clicks.
When you have played with them for some time/years you must see things,shots or summat that would make you think "nah that's not right", "you could do that better".

how would you tell them without upsetting them.

for the record my three regular Partners it would be,
PP1, Stand square when putting inside 2ft, putts that would be gimmes, he misses coz he don't stand square and opens his stance which messes his head up for the next few holes.
PP2, needs to speed up his game, like me loves to talk when walking to his ball but then seems to lose concentration.
PP3, get rid of your purple jumper, you look like a big fat Ribena berry. Re your game, too much to mention.

any thoughts.
 
My regular playing partner and I know each other's swings really well,and neither would be offended if the other pointed out swing faults. We are both trying to get our handicaps down and playing in a Texas scramble with others on Friday one player told me my alignment was wrong on two occasions, but both times after I'd played the shot!
 
Play with really good mates, no issue over clothing, fun starts before we Tee Off, as for playing, none of us are good enough to instruct each other, but if any of us spot anything we will mention it, ie, one of the blokes drives really well normally, but when he has a decent score going he can start trying too hard and speeding up, if we see it happening we tell him.
 
Any advice not about the swing that speeds up play or helps care for the course is a good thing. Always happy to be helped with advice on those things.
 
I wouldn't give anyone advice, I barely know what I'm doing myself and certainly don't consider myself knowledgeable enough about the golf swing to advise others.
 
I wouldn't give advice to anyone I don't know. My pp often swings way too fast and when he starts doing that and it goes horribly wrong I will suggest he slows it down, nothing more. He knows the advice is correct for him and it helps. He does the same for me. Sometimes you need to hear it from someone even though you know it yourself. I would not give technical advice as I don't know the mechanics well enough for that, no matter who it is.
 
I'd never give unsolicted advice about anyones games but will always try and hustle our group along if we're dropping back. Can't see the problem in that. As for fashion advice, with my FJ's and som eof my outfits I'm the last golfer in the world to be making those sorts of comments but can't see why a purple jumper would be so offensive
