And that is my question. Rather than opinions please direct me to rules and decisions that say it’s okay to “ advise†someone they are about to break the rules if that play a shot.
As I said above I DID stop him but how is he not gaining and advantage from my comment as he’s otherwise get a 2 stroke penalty? Is that not an advantage to his ultimate score, not having that penalty on there?!?
The wording you are looking for is in the definitions
Advice
"Advice" is any counsel or suggestion that could influence a player in determining his play, the choice of a club or the method of making a stroke.
Information on the Rules, distance or matters of public information, such as the position of hazards or the flagstick on the putting green, is not advice.
Not only are you allowed to tell someone that they are about to break a rule, you should tell them.
Nothing worse (in rules ) than a player waiting until after you have incurred the penalty before telling you could have avoided it.
