- Thou shall know
the RULES OF GOLF. And knowing them, shall enforce them, as honestly
as possible, even on thine self.
- Thou shall regard
TIME SHEETS as sacrosanct. If unable to play, thou shall either ring
the club or those on the time sheet with thee.
- Thou shall always
arrive in time for the Time Sheet. To keep thy partners waiting is a
grave transgression, an disrupts the time sheet.
- Thou shall not
engage in SLOW PLAY. Too many practice swings and aping what thou
sees on television gravely offends against this commandment.
- Remember always to
keep the GREENS in a heavenly state. Thou shall repair all
pitch marks, even those made by thine neighbour and thou shall
replace divots.
- Thou shall never
leave Caddy Cars in front of greens. Nor leave them on the wrong
side of the green. Thou shall always leave by the shortest route to
the nest tee box.
- Thou shall never -
NEVER - mark thine Cards on the green. Greens are for putting on,
not for marking cards.
- Thou shall always
rake a bunker when your shot is complete. Indeed, when noticing a
bunker which needs it, thou shall rake it, even if the footmarks had
not been made by thyself.
- Thou shall always
observe GOOD MANNERS on the course. Obey all directions and keep thy
voice down, so that it shall not distract the play of thy
neighbours.
- Thou shall take
infinite care in marking and signing of thy card before placing it
in the competition box, this ensuring thy winning score shall not be
disqualifying.
