	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.
