Etiquette on the Green

Once you tee off and make it to the green, there is a whole additional set of rules.


Etiquette on the Green

  1. The ball with the longest distance to the hole has to be played first.
  2. Don't step on putting lines of your flight partners.
  3. Mark your ball as soon as it lies on the green.
  4. When holding the flagstick, don't stand too close to the hole. Watch for any shadow your body may produce in the sun because this may interfere other players in their game.
  5. Don't stay too close to your flight partners when they want to take their puts.
  6. Don't move or speak as long as your flight partners play their balls.
  7. Don't pull the ball out of the hole with your putter as this may damage the hole. Bend down and pick it up.
  8. Avoid any damage of the green! (flag hole, spikes, pitching holes!). Remove all traces before leaving the green.
  9. Replace flagstick carefully. Do not damage the hole!
  10. Leave the green as soon as possible. There is time to note your score while waiting for tee-off on the next tee.
