Anyone who has played golf will probably tell you that the elements, be it the sun, wind or rain also have an impact on your game. That being said, you may be a kind hearted soul and if you see your partner wilting in the sun and want to give him some shade while he plays his shot take note; according to the rule book this is not allowed! If following the letter of the (golfing) law, you should remember that you are not allowed to make a stroke while being "shielded" from the elements by your opponent, partner or even caddie.
