To clarify, the Captain, or any one person appointed by the team, is only allowed to give advice to the team if it is specifically permitted by the Committee in the Conditions of the Competition.

 

There are no restrictions in the rules about where the appointed advisor can get their information.

 

The best example is the Ryder Cup. The team Captain is permitted to pass on advice to his players, and much of the information comes from his Vice Captains that are spread around the course.
