Etiquette & Attire
Etiquette
The rules of golf etiquette are formatted for several important reasons. Many of them relate to the safety of golfers, many relate to pace of play, which helps keep the game enjoyable, and others relate to maintaining the quality of the golf course.- Fill your divots. Always fill your divots with the sand mix provided for you. If sand is not readily available, use your shoe to scuff in the edges of the divot.
- Repair your ball mark. After arriving on the green, repair your ball mark. Without holding up play, repair other ball marks if time allows.
- Always rake bunkers when you are finished. After leaving a bunker please place the rakes inside the bunker.
