Instruction
"During a scheduled round, a player may not
(a) give instruction to anyone in the competition playing on the course other than their partner; or
(b) not request instruction from anyone other than their partner or one of their caddies."².
"During a scheduled round, a player must not
(a) give instruction to anyone in the match playing on the course other than his partner; or
(b) not request instruction from anyone other than their partner or one of their caddies."²
According to the St. Andrews Rules of Golf, golf instruction is therefore not permitted. All instructions lead to a corresponding penalty when playing golf in accordance with Rule of Golf 8-1 "Give instruction and line of play". To avoid a penalty according to the official rules of golf, make sure you are equipped with the right golf equipment to minimize uncertainty in your golf game and to be able to concentrate fully on your golf swing and tactics.
