The Following Customs Belong To The Established Etiquette Of Golf, And Should Be Observed By All Golfers:

1. No player, caddie or on-looker should move or talk during a stroke.

2. No player should play from the tee until the party in front have played their second strokes and are out of range, nor play to the putting green till the party in front have holed out and moved away.

3. The player who leads from the tee should be allowed to play before his opponent tees his ball.

4. Players who have holed out should not try their puts over again when other players are following them.

5. Players looking for a lost ball must allow any other match coming up to pass them.

6. A party playing three or more balls must allow a two-ball match to pass them.

7. A party playing a shorter round must allow a two-ball match playing the whole round to pass them.

8. A player should not put at the hole when the flag is in it.

9. The reckoning of the strokes is kept by the terms "the odd," "two more," "three more," etc., and "one off three," "one of two," "the like." The reckoning of the holes is kept by the terms - so many "holes up" - or "all even" - and - so many "to play."

10. Turf cut or displaced by a stroke in playing should be at once replaced.
