When Playing...

-

-
Do not step in anyone’s putting line, or their through line. (3 feet beyond the putting line).
-
Do not touch or pick up anyone’s golf ball – unless specifically asked. (Such as a provisional ball where the original one has been found and in play).
-
You cannot suggest a golf club to any other player but your own.
-
You can not say how many clubs the wind has, or the MPH/KMH to any player, other than your own.
Don't....
Flagstick ettiquite
-
The player who is farthest away from the hole, putts first.
-
Usually, the players’ caddie will be the one person to attend the flagstick for their own player.
-
Sometimes, a different caddie might attend the flagstick. For instance, the player’s caddie is raking a bunker far away.
-
Stand on the low side of the hole, unless your player wants you to stand on the high side of the hole.
-
Pull the flagstick out of the ground about one inch and lean it against the back part of the cup.
-
Beware of the other 3 ball markers and preplan where you are walking after the player has stuck the putt.
-
As soon as the putt is struck, take the flag out and move away from the hole.
-
Typically, the flagstick is placed on the putting green, where there is no chance of any putt hitting it.
Do....
-
clean the clubhead after the player has hit their ball.
-
arrive at your players ball before they do.
-
When your player hits in a bad direction – follow it until the end. Say something like “I saw it hit the willow tree mid-way up and did not see where it landed.” Or “I saw a splash and I believe the entry point was near the red stake.” Or “I see white stakes, maybe you should hit a Provincial ball.”
-
be ready to rake the bunker, for your player and possibly the other players.
-
Always place the bag/pushcart in between the flagstick and the next teeing area.
-
You may offer yardages
-
Repair pitch marks on the putting green, your players and one more.
