Rules of Golf - January 2023 =>

93 • Decide to take relief under a Rule (such as treating a ball as unplayable under Rule 19 or taking relief from an abnormal course condition or penalty area under Rule 16.1 or 17); the caddie may advise the player to do so, but the player must decide. 10.3c Player Responsible for Caddie’s Actions and Breach of Rules A player is responsible for their caddie’s actions both during a round and while play is stopped under Rule 5.7a, but not before or after a round. If the caddie’s action breaches a Rule or would breach a Rule if the action was taken by the player, the player gets the penalty under that Rule. When application of a Rule depends on whether the player is aware of certain facts, the player’s knowledge is treated as including whatever is known by their caddie. Rule 10
