CORRIGENDA
ETIQUETTE: Behaviour on
the Course
The Captain has priority
at all times.
The overriding principle
is that consideration should be shown to others on the
course at all times.
1. Players
should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a
position to be hit when they make a stroke or practice
swing.
2. Players
should not play until the players in front are out of
range.
3. Players
should always show consideration for other players on
the course and should not disturb their play by moving,
talking or making unnecessary noise.
4. On
the teeing ground, a player should not tee his ball
until it is his turn to play.
5. Players
should not stand close to or directly behind the ball,
or directly behind the hole, when a player is about to
play.
6. On
the putting green, players should not stand on another
player’s line of putt or, when he is making a stroke,
cast a shadow over his line of putt.
7. Players
should remain on or close to the putting green until all
other players in the group have holed out.
8. Players
should play at a good pace. It is a group’s
responsibility to keep up with the group in front. If it
loses a clear hole and it is delaying the group behind,
it should invite the group behind to play through,
irrespective of the number of players in that group.
9. Players
should be ready to play as soon as it is their turn to
play. When the play of a hole has been completed,
players should immediately leave the putting green.
10. Players
searching for a ball should signal the players in the
group behind them to play through as soon as it becomes
apparent that the ball will not be easily found. They
should not search for five minutes before doing so.
11. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, priority on the
course is determined by a group’s pace of play.
12. Any
group playing a full round is entitled to pass a match
playing a shorter round.
13. Before
leaving a bunker, players should carefully fill up and
smooth over all holes and footprints made by them and
any nearby made by others.
14. Players
should carefully repair any divot holes made by them and
any damage to the putting green by the impact of a ball
(whether or not made by the player himself). On
completion of the hole by all players in the group,
damage to the putting green caused by golf shoes should
be repaired.
15. Notices
regulating the movement of golf carts should be strictly
observed. 
A group’s pace of play determines priority on the course
unless otherwise determined by Committee resolution.
Please note that GGGC Council has decreed that three and
four-ball matches have priority on the course on Sunday
mornings and all day on Saturday.
Members are also reminded that single players do not
enjoy priority at any time.
