The game of golf relies on the integrity of the player to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules.
All players should display courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf.
For your reference, The Rules of Golf handbook is available at the office. This is a handy guide to keep in your golf bag for you to refer to when required. Our local rules are printed on the back of the scorecard.
