The following customs belong to the established Etiquette of Golf and
should be observed by all players:
1. No player, caddie, or onlooker should move or talk during a stroke.
2. No player should play from the tee until the party in front have played
their second strokes and are out of range, nor play to the putting-green
till the party in front have holed out and moved away.
3. The player who leads from the tee should be allowed to play before his
opponent tee his ball.
4. Players who have holed out should not try their putts over again when
other players are following them.
5. Players looking for a lost ball must allow any other match coming up
to pass them.
6. A party playing three or more balls must allow a two-ball match to pass
them.
7. A party playing a shorter round must allow a two-ball match playing the
whole round to pass them.
8. A player should not putt at the hole when the flag is in it.
9. The reckoning of the strokes is kept by the terms, "the odd,"
"two more," "three more," etc., and "one
off three," "one off two," "the like." The
reckoning of the holes is kept by the terms, so many "holes up"
or " all even," and so many "to play."
10. Turf cut or displaced by a stroke in playing should be at once replaced.
