Confront him about it, but don't tell on him. Unless it's a tournament with high stakes you'll just make him angry.

How did he cheat by the way? Once, twice, all the time?

Don't tell on him, but tell him you saw him and that he should stop being a wuss and play like a man. I have a friend who does the same thing and it gets on my nerves; whenever his ball gets in a pivot, he would get it out with his foot thinking nobody would see, and other stuff like that.

We don't play in tournaments though, just for fun.

well i think the right thing to do would be to ask him about it and try and tell him politely to not do it again.

if its something like putting the ball mark in front of the ball and setting the ball back down behind the ball mark (moving it closer to the hole) then talk to him about it because it could be a bad habit that he needs to break.

I vote that you are too late. You should have mentioned/stopped him when you saw it.

Agree here. Remember that as a playing partner, one of your responsibilities is to protect the field. No need to be a jerk about it to him, but find a friendly way to let him know that, at least for tourney play, he has to follow the rules.

I had a group that I played with on Sunday mornings until I found out that one of the guys cheated. I now play with other guys. We are all out there to have fun and if your friend finds that cheating is more fun than playing by the rules then maybe he's not the right playing partner to have. Typically if someone cheats at something as meaningless as golf they "cheat" their way through life.

I love all these junior Freuds we have at the Sandtrap. No, if someone cheats at a casual round of golf that "typcically" does not make him someone who cheats his way through life. Unless of course there is money on the line, then in that case, by all means, don't play with him again.

Hello I wonder about if somebody can help or give me advise on this question?

Tough one if he really is your best friend. I'd be inclined to have a word and suggest he volunteers to inform those in charge of the comp. that he made "a mistake". Signed his card wrong or whatever. If it really was a comp. as you say above, I don't think he should be allowed to get away with it scot-free.

What did he do? Is this the first time you caught him out?

I remember playing with this kid as a junior, the worst cheat EVER. He would take 3 swipes to get it out a bunker and then calmly say "I got a 3 there", he was older and had a low handicap (I wonder why!) so I just didn't know what to say. I just left him to it and sent an anonymous complaint to the head of juniors!

I remember once, in an October medal, 3 groups of juniors played the last 2 holes all together in pitch black darkness. It was almost impossible to find your ball. Anyway, people were a bit dodgy with the scores if they couldn't find the ball-I got 2 bogeys sort of thing. This guy though, same cheating lad, I'm scoring for, he claims he finished with-2 birdies-Ha ha, the last is a 200 yard par 3, I don't think I ever birdied it-he claims to birdie it in pitch darkness. This guy was such a cheat he 'developed' a 7 handicap and got junior county training on the strength of it. Ridiculous. In my experience a lot of people don't play to the exact laws-I guess it depends what you call cheating. The kid I talked about was a pure cheat.

What were the circumstances? How do you think he cheated? How do you claim to know he cheated? You need to provide a lot more information, otherwise it's really unfair to have people speculating on what happened, kind of pointless unless you want to provide some essential details.

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.
