CODE OF CONDUCT
- Players will play the game in accordance with the Rules of Golf as set by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club St Andrews and the USGA.
- Always play within the spirit of the game. Players should never argue with the officials of the club. Any grievances should be directed to the Executive Committee, Match Committee or the President in writing.
- Be a good sport and acknowledge the good play of your fellow competitors.
- Control your temper and do not yell out abuse or throw clubs as this brings the club into disrepute. This includes loud swearing.
- Treat all players as you would like to be treated. Avoid making noise or talking whilst other players are playing a stroke, especially when congregating around the first tee.
- Wait until the group ahead is out of range before hitting up. If in doubt, wait. If you hit a ball towards other players call out "FORE" in order to warn them. Take responsibility for your own actions.
- Avoid the use of mobile phones. If you must have your phone turned on, have it set to vibrate alert. Use discreetly without interfering with other players or causing undue delay. If you are too busy that you can't play without using your phone constantly you probably should be somewhere other than the golf course.
