Courtesy on the Course
- If someone else is playing from the tee, do not tee your ball until he/she has played.
- Always stand still and to the side of rather than behind another player when he or she is playing. Do not talk.
- Be ready to play when it is your turn.
- When you are playing slowly or looking for a lost ball, ask the group behind you to play through, so you do not slow everyone down.
- Write down scores on the way to the next hole, not on the green you are leaving.
- Never take more than one practice swing, if any.
Safety First.Both in Practice and Play, always make sure that:
- No one is near you when you swing the club.
- No one is ahead of you where your shot might hit them.
- If a player plays a ball in a direction where there is a danger of hitting someone, he should immediately shout a warning. The traditional word of warning in such situations is fore.
Taking Care of the Course
- Always wear golf or tennis shoes. Do not slide or drag your feet or the on the green.
- Always rake a bunker after you have played from it.
- Replace divots and repair depressions made when your ball hits the green. These are called ''ball marks."
- Never place your golf bag on the green. Put the flagstick carefully back into the hole after putting,
