Etiquette; Behaviour on the Course
It is one of the central principles of the game that players play by the Rules and in the spirit of the game. Rule 1.2 in the Rules of Golf details the conduct that is expected of all players and what is meant by spirit of the game.
All players are expected to play in the spirit of the game by:
- Acting with integrity - for example, by following the Rules, applying all penalties, and being honest in all aspects of play.
- Showing consideration to others - for example, by playing at a prompt pace, looking out for the safety of others, and not distracting the play of another player. If a player plays a ball in a direction where there might be a danger of hitting someone, they should immediately shout a warning, such as the traditional warning of "fore".
- Taking good care of the course - for example, by replacing divots, smoothing bunkers, repairing ball marks, and not causing unnecessary damage to the course.
