    & Information   THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME      
  Page 2        This section provides guidelines on the manner in which the game of golf should be played.  If      
      they are followed, all players will gain maximum enjoyment from the game.  The overriding      
  Calendar   principle is that consideration should be shown to others on the course at all times.      
           Unlike many sports, golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or      
  Officers &   umpire.  The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players      
    Directors   and to abide by the Rules.  All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner,    
      demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they      
  Membership   may be.  This is the spirit of the game of golf.    
    Information   SAFETY      
           Players should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a position to be hit by the club, the      
  Team   ball or any stones, pebbles, twigs or the like when they make a stroke or practice swing.      
    Information        Players should not play until the players in front are out of range.      
  Eligibility List        Players should always alert greens staff nearby or ahead when they are about to make a      
      stroke that might endanger them.      
  By Laws &        If a player plays a ball in a direction where there is a danger of hitting someone, he should      
    Standing Rules   immediately shout a warning.  The traditional word of warning in such a situation is "fore".      
      CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PLAYERS      
  Field Days   NO DISTURBANCE OR DISTRACTION:      
    Information &        Players should always show consideration for other players on the course and should not    
    Winners   disturb their play by moving, talking or making any unnecessary noise.    
           Players should ensure that any electronic device taken onto the course does not distract    
      other players.      
  Minutes        On the teeing ground, a player should not tee his ball until it is his turn to play.      
           Players should not stand close to or directly behind the ball, or directly behind the hole, when a      
      player is about to play.      
      ON THE PUTTING GREEN:      
           On the putting green, players should not stand on another player's line of putt or, when he is      
      making a stroke, cast a shadow over his line of putt.      
           Players should remain on or close to the putting green until all other players in the group have      
      holed out.      
      SCORING:      
           In stroke play, a player who is acting as a marker should, if necessary, on the way to the next      
      tee, check the score with the player concerned and record it.
