I was watching early coverage of the 3rd round at WGC in Mexico.  I believe it was the 3rd hole.  Tommy Fleetwood and his caddie  were discussing his shot.  Tommy's bag was off to  the side, when one of the other caddies walked over and looked (no touching) at his clubs.  My guess would be to see what club was missing, thus being what club Tommy has holding.  Tommy had honors, so the others had not played their shot.  Is that legal?   I do realize they did their homework during practice round and likely knew what club they would be hitting already.  Just curious...

My google searched didn't net any clear results

Yes, they can look in other bags. The rule is they can not verbally ask.

What was your search? There are thousands of results relating to this.

In any case, if a player or caddie doesn't want the other guy to know what he hit, they usually just throw a towel over the clubs. It's no big deal.

About to say same thing. I think this was a rather lazy google search if at all.😒

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By JetFan1983 ·

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!

      Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.

      Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
