1 - WHAT IS THE LABEL?

Golf is certainly not the only sport where practices including compliance with the other facilities, the spirit of the game, complete the pure settlement points. Anyone who has trodden a green understand the concepts of respect of the land so strong in golf, anyone who has assimilated the specificity of the golf stroke that occurs from the stop, so in a situation of total vulnerability to noises or sudden movements around, include the notions of silence, peace, whoever shall keep in mind the two notions of respect of the land and respect for others will respect the label without difficulty. The label includes all the rules of behavior that respects real player. They fi gurent in the preamble of the Rules of Golf and are characterized by the fact that they do not lead to penalty when they are not respected: this is what should make the most present and stronger because they summarize the "etiquette" of golf: respect for other players and terrain.

2 - RESPECT OF PLAYERS

Be attentive to others
In friendly game or competition, players play on the same course, one behind the other in groups of two, three or four. In the interest of all never forget these few points for the comfort and safety of your partners or parties you previous:
- Never play until the players ahead of you are at your best shot.
- If you make practice swings, make sure those around you (! Especially those behind you and you can not see) are unlikely to be affected or receive earth or gravel you might move.
- If your ball is headed in a direction where it could contact, shout to warn of danger. The usual term is "ball! Dropoff window.

You know how golf demand peace and quiet; then avoid, when a player makes his stroke:
- You move, move, speak,
- Standing too close to him,
- To place you on the extension of his line of play or on a putting green behind him when he plays.

Play at a good pace

- Walk quickly. You must keep the interval with the previous group.
- If your group falls behind by a free hole through one preceding it and delays the next group, invite her to place, regardless of the number of players making up this group.
- Avoid multiple (and often unnecessary) Test movements.
- Be ready to play when it's your turn
- Arriving at the green, put your bag or cart on the next start of the path.
- Prepare your shot while the others play, especially in putting.
- Immediately Quit the green of the hole when the game is over.

If stray bullet

- If your ball is likely to be out of bounds or lost outside a water hazard, in order to save time, play a provisional ball.
- If you are looking for a ball hard to place, leave immediately pass the part that follows you ... without waiting for five minutes have elapsed.
