    I'll bite & get this started
    • Be ready when it's your turn to play
    • Remain silent & still when others are ready to play
    • Don't step on someone's putting line
    • Keep up and don't hold the group up
    • don't take it personally if someone points out a mistake in etiquette or a rules violation. We just want to help you learn the game the right way
    • Always buy Kilroy a beer after the round.
    Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

    fixing ball marks, rake sand traps, not to pick up a golf ball to identify it.

    Respect the game.
    Respect the course - leave it in better shape than you found it.
    Respect your opponents and fellow-competitors.
    Respect yourself and your equipment.
    It's a great game that way.

    Do not walk ahead of anyone in your group, try not to be too loud when you make that great putt or shot!! Place your bag closest to the exit of the green to the next tee prior to going on the green to putt.

    Mine is a common sense suggestion that isn't (to my knowledge) in the rules of golf.

    If possible, finish the hole (particularly around the green) before ordering from the beverage cart.
    Determined to keep the rough trimmed. One swing at a time.
