    Not sure about that.

    Pointing out OB would be factual so I'd have thought been in the rules and "same as last time" could be construed as encouragement not advice - if I was potentially on the receiving end of 2 stroke penalty I'd certainly argue the case

      Advice is not implied about anything otherwise known - such as hazards, course conditions, etc.

      However, this makes me wonder if it's OK to ask about your yardage - would it be considered 'otherwise known', especially if the sprinklerheads are marked?

        My point was to try to come up with a way to shut the guy up.

        "same as last time" because it is telling Greg how to do the next shot, while Greg hase many more options than the "shape" of the last shot. Hence, advice.

        Stating where OB is located (right) is in a sense telling Greg where to aim (left) ... advice.

          It seems to me any advice is bad advice. What creeps into your thoughts (almost automatically) puts you in the mechanical mode of thinking. That is the worst thing that can happen while playing. I never, ever, say anything to my playing buddies.....unless they ask me for my advice.

            Is advice based on opinions or assumptions. I will take advice based on true scientific facts.

              My Uncle and my dad got clubs from my Gramps when they were little. My dad kept the clubs and loved it his whole life and then started me while my uncle sold his clubs as soon as he got them, HAH!

              So...My uncle said if somebody gives you clubs, sell them and don't waste your time with it! Terrible advice!

                  My two favourites:

                  Hit down on the ball

                  Keep your head down

                      Other bad swing advice:

                      Kneel down at address

                      Roll a cigarette during your downswing

                      Oil your hands before playing

                      Play every shot towards Mecca (either in the middle east, or the bingo hall)

                        I don't think raise your head when swinging would be very good advice?

                        Your bum looks big in those trousers is no go advice for my wife

                        Burnt Ochre trousers and Powder Blue shirt "Suit you Sir" from the pro shop assistant would not rate to highly with me.

                        "I cant understand why you hit that bad shot" type advice does not really motivate me.

                        "If you would not have <enter the error here> then you would have putted that one" also does not float my boat.

                          I presume you refer to "keep your head down"?

                          Saying "keep your head down" is bad advice is not the same as saying "raise your head"!

                          Keep your chin up/keep your height/look down your nose at the ball, is more what I'd say.

                          I think "Keep your head down" is responsible for poor posture changes during the swing, conjures images of people burying their chin into their chest and fatting and thinning followed swiftly by chucking and swearing!

                            Sure Neil, I understand.

                            I like to think about keeping the head stable with no bobbing.
