No one should move, talk or stand close to the line of play or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke.
No player should play until the players in front are out of range. Nevertheless, players should play without undue delay.
When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green and mark their cards at the next tee.
Players should repair their divot holes and pitch mark damage to the green.
Players should avoid damaging the hole when removing or replacing the flagstick and the removal of the ball from the hole. The head of a club should not be used to remove the ball from the hole, nor should players lean on their clubs while on the putting green.
Before leaving a bunker, players should smooth over all footprints and holes.
A serious breach of etiquette or continuous disregard of these guidelines could result in a player being disqualified.
