COURTESY ON THE COURSE
- Ensure that you arrive at the Club well before your tee-off time; vital time is lost when a match is late on the tee.
- On the 1st tee, be organised so that you have your ball, tee pegs etc..ready, when it is your turn to play your shot.
- On the course don't wait for your playing partner to play before deciding on club and shot selection. Likewise, on the green, have an idea of your line before it is your turn to putt out.
- In the case of a lost ball, remember that the rules of golf stipulate that you are allowed only five minutes to search for a lost ball. If you are searching for a lost ball, always call through player(s) who are playing behind you.
- If there is a clear hole in front of you, accelerate or call through the match behind. It is common courtesy for a four-ball to let a two-ball through.
- Never leave your golf bag at the front of a green when the route to the next tee is off the back. Needless walks can be avoided by planning ahead.
- Clear the green as soon as you finish a hole.
- Remember your place on the course is behind the players in front of you, NOT in front of the players behind you.
Remember golf is a game of honour, and all rules must be interpreted honourably.
