Golf Etiquette
Unlike many sports, golf is played for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the rules.
All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrate courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, and take necessary steps to care of the course being played on. The word etiquette refers to guidelines on the manner in which the game of golf should be played.
