Etiquette Courtesy on the Course If someone else is playing from the tee, do not tee your ball until he/she has played. Always stand still and to the side of rather than behind another player when he or she is playing. Do not talk. Be ready to play when it is your turn. When you are playing slowly or looking for a lost ball, ask the group behind you to play through, so you do not slow everyone down. Write down scores on the way to the next hole, not on the green you are leaving. Never take more than one practice swing, if any.   Safety First   Both in Practice and Play, always make sure that: No one is near you when you swing the club. No one is ahead of you where your shot might hit them.   Taking Care of the Course Always wear golf or tennis shoes. Do not slide or drag your feet or the on the green. Always rake a bunker after you have played from it. Replace divots and repair depressions made when your ball hits the green. These are called "ball marks." Never place your golf bag on the green. Put the flagstick carefully back into the hole after putting.
