ETIQUETTE COURTESY ON THE COURSE CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PLAYERS In the interest of all, players should play without delay. No player shall play until the players in front are out of range. Players searching for a ball should signal the players behind them to pass as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not be easily found; they should not search for 3 minutes before doing so. They should not continue to play until the players following them have passed and are out of range. When the play of a hole has been completed players should immediately leave the putting green. PRIORITY ON THE COURSE In the absence of special rules, two ball matches should have precedence of, and be entitled to pass, any three or four ball match. If a match fails to keep its place on the course and loses more than one clear hole on the players in front it shall allow the match following to pass. All Members must start their round at the first tee, unless granted permission to start elsewhere by the Professional. Any players not playing a whole round can only cut in if there is at least two clear holes behind them and they would also lose their standing on the course. 21
