    With one exception:
    http://lindamillergolf.blogspot.ca/2...-i-borrow.html


    You may actually borrow any type of
    equipment except for golf clubs [Rule 4-4a]. The exception to this rule is that
    partners may share clubs, but only in the very unusual circumstance that the
    total number of clubs carried by the two partners is 14. In other words, if you
    have 6 clubs in your bag, and your partner has no more than 8, you may share.

    Rule 4-4
    The addition of a club or clubs must not unduly delay play (Rule 6-7) and
    the player must not add or borrow any club selected for play by any other
    person playing on the
    course or by assembling components carried by or for

    the player during the
    stipulated round.

    PENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE 4-4a or b, REGARDLESS OF
    NUMBER OF EXCESS CLUBS CARRIED:
    Match play – At the conclusion of the hole at which the breach is
    discovered, the state of the match is adjusted by deducting one hole for
    each hole at which a breach occurred; maximum deduction per round
    – Two holes.
    Stroke play – Two strokes for each hole at which any breach occurred;
    maximum penalty per round – Four strokes (two strokes at each of the
    first two holes at which any breach occurred).
    Match play or stroke play – If a breach is discovered between the play of
    two holes, it is deemed to have been discovered during play of the hole
    just completed, and the penalty for a breach of Rule 4-4a or b does not
    apply to the next hole.
    Bogey and par competitions – See Note 1 to Rule 32-1a.
    Stableford competitions – See Note 1 to Rule 32-1b.

    Rule 8-1b:
    During a
    stipulated round, a player must not:

    a.
    give advice to anyone in the competition playing on the course other

    than his
    partner, or
    b.
    ask for advice from anyone other than his partner or either of their caddies.

    PENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE:
    Match play – Loss of hole; Stroke play – Two strokes.

    Borrowing and sharing are not the same thing.

    To obtain or receive (something) on loan with the promise or understanding of returning it
    To use jointly or in turns.
