    When Do You Inform Your Fellow Competitor...

    There are situations under the rules where you MUST inform your fellow competitor or your opponent, of what you intend to do.

    What are they? Let's start at list.

    When you want to lift up the ball to check it is yours.

    I would never question your answers (especially when I haven't checked the rules), but it seems odd to me that you would not tell you opponent in a match play that you were calling a ball unplayable. He or she might be looking elsewhere, and not know that you had done so. That knowledge might affect the way in which he might wish to play his next shot. As a matter of courtesy, even if it may not be required, I always tell my fellow competitor or opponent that I am taking an unplayable.

    Your opponent is always entitled to know how many strokes you have taken.

    9-2b A player is deemed to have given wrong information if he:
    (i) fails to inform his opponent as soon as practicable that he has incurred a penalty, unless (a) he was obviously proceeding under a Rule involving a penalty and this was observed by his opponent,

    The question said MUST so if the words in red applied then there is no necessity.
    As a matter of courtesy, even if it may not be required, I always tell my fellow competitor ... that I am taking an unplayable.
    The requirement in stroke play is that your marker SHOULD be informed about a penalty as soon as practicable. If your marker doesn't know and doesn't record it of course, you face a DQ.

    But in neither case are you required to say anything beforehand
