Consideration for other players
The player who has the honour should be allowed to play before
his opponent or fellow competitor tees his ball.
No one should move, talk or stand close
to or directly behind the ball or hole when a player is addressing
the ball or making a stroke.
In the interest of all, players should play
without delay.
No player shall play until the players in
front are out of range.
Players searching for a ball should signal
the players behind them to pass as soon as it becomes apparent
that the ball will not easily be found they should not search
for 5 minutes before doing so. They should not continue play
until the players following them have passed out of range.
When the play of a hole has been completed,
players should immediately leave the putting green.
Priority on the Course
In the absence of special rules, two -all
matches should have precedence over and be entitled to pass
any three of four-ball match.
A single player has no standing and should give way to a match
of any kind.
Any match playing a whole round is entitled to pass a match
playing a shorter round.
If a match fails to keep its place on the course and loses
more than one clear hole on the players in front, it should
allow the match following to pass.
Care of the Course
Holes in Bunkers
Before leaving a bunker, a player should carefully fill up
and smooth over all holes and footprints made by him.
Replace Divots, Repair Ball-Marks and
Damage by Spikes
Through the green, a player should ensure that any turf cut
or displaced by him and replaced at once and pressed down,
and that any damage to the putting green made by a ball is
carefully repaired. Damage to the putting green caused by
golf shoe spikes should be repaired on completion of the hole.
Damage to Greens - Flagsticks
Players should ensure that, when putting down flagsticks,
no damage is done to the putting green and neither they nor
their caddies damage the hole by standing close to it, in
handling the flagstick or in removing the ball from the hole.
The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole before
the players leave the putting green. Players should not damage
the putting green by leaning on their putters, particularly
when removing the ball from the hole.
Golf Carts
Local notices and rules regulating the movements of golf carts
should be strictly observed.
Damage Through Practice Swings
In taking practice swings, players should avoid causing damage
to the course, particularly to the tees by removing divots.
