- All players are required to keep their round moving by being prepared to hit their shot when it is their turn
- The player who has the honour usually plays first
- In friendly play (as opposed to a tournament play) players hit as they are ready
- Players must refrain from spending too much time looking for a lost ball particularly if there is a group behind ready to play. If players insist on taking the full five minutes allotted to look for lost balls, etiquette requires players to allow any group immediately behind to play through
- Players must always keep pace with the group ahead
- If a group has a clear hole in front of them and is consistently holding up players behind, they must call a faster group to play through and must also increase their own speed of play
- When two players in a cart hit to opposite sides of a hole, they must drive to the first ball and drop that player with his club, then drive to the second ball. After both players hit, they must meet up further down the hole
- When walking from the cart to the ball, take a number of clubs and sand bucket with you
- Always leave the putting green as soon as your group has finished putting
- Upon reaching the green, leave bags, pull buggies in proximity of the walk to the next tee and never in front of the green
- Players are obliged to pick up immediately if they will not be able to score in Stableford and Par competitions
- Scores should be recorded enroute to/at the next tee
- Ensure all pitch marks have been repaired on greens
- Ensure all divots are filled with sand
- Players should enter and leave by the low parts of the bunkers
- Players should carefully rake all marks made in a bunker and leave the rake in the centre, pointing to the line of play
