§207A2. Golf Course Etiquette.
For the game to be fun, each player participates in accordance with a code of decent and
friendly conduct which includes safe and fast play, proper care of the golf course, and basic
courtesy.
1.Care of the Course
On greens, repair all ball marks. Be most careful on greens – tread lightly; don’t
damage the hole
Rake all bunkers. Replace all divots. (Don’t make divots with practice swings.)
Keep golf carts at least 30 feet from greens and tees. Stay outside of roped areas.
Put all trash in trash containers.
2.Safety
Be careful when you swing a club, whether in practice (you might hit someone
nearby) or in play (you might also hit your ball into someone).
Don’t play until the group in front is out of the way.
3.Courtesy
Don’t move, talk, or stand close to or directly behind a player making a stroke.
Play without delay! Slow play is a huge aggravation. Leave the putting green as
soon as all players in your group have holed out – no dawdling please!
Invite faster groups to play through.
Be aware of others around you.
The game of golf is meant to be played behind the group ahead of you, not in front
of the group behind you.

conditions.
