COURSE ETIQUETTE

In the interest of all, players should play without delay. However, no player should play until the players in front are out of range. Players searching for a ball should signal the players in the group behind them to play through as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green prior to marking cards etc.

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.

Before leaving a bunker, a player should carefully rake and smooth over all holes and footprints made by him or others.

Through the fairway, a player should ensure that any divots (turf cut or displaced by him in making his shot) are replaced at once and pressed down, and that any damage to the putting green by the ball is carefully repaired (pitch marks).

Players should ensure that no damage is done to the putting green, and that neither they nor their caddies damage the hole by standing too close to it in handling the flag stick or in removing the ball from the hole. The flag stick should be laid gently on the green and 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. No bags or trolleys are allowed on the putting greens.

Repair all pitch marks including someone else's before leaving the green.
