I still can't figure out why the original poster assumed another player wanted to be told, unsolicited, what his score was. If a player wanted to know what his score was, why couldn't he just look at the card? The discussion on this thread about keeping one's score in a tournament isn't really relevant to the Original posts.
I think we have established that the original post has been an example of bad etiquette and that it was gamesmanship in a tight, competitive tournament scenario.
Personally, I'm not into practicing gamesmanship, but I accept that part of the game and you have to be prepared to deal with it sometimes. I actually enjoy seeing it and being a target of it. I view it as another challenge on the course.
Practicing gamesmanship is not against the rules, but when you engage in it, don't whinge when you get a nasty reaction and push back, though.
