Etiquette on the Course

  • Arrive at the Pro Shop at least 30 minutes before your tee time
  • Be at your 1st tee ready to hit off at least 5 minutes before your time
  • Leave the tee as soon as the last player in your group has hit
  • Walk briskly to your ball
  • Hit as soon as it is safe to do so
  • Stay in touch with the group ahead
  • Leave your bag ready for the next tee when you reach the green
  • Call up only when you feel it is safe and you have not lost touch with the group ahead.  (It is not imperative at Roseville to call up, it is a courtesy and entirely a matter for the players themselves)
  • On the green think about your line of putt while awaiting your turn
  • Do not practise chipping or putting after completing a hole
  • The first two of your group should putt out and proceed to the next tee if you have lost ground to the group ahead
  • Mark your card on the next tee while others are hitting off
  • Ignore who has the honour (except in Match play) and play when ready
  • Repair extra divot holes, pitch marks etc.
  • Return the rake to flat part of the bunker after raking it, with the handle aligned to the direction of play.  Enter and exit the bunker at blue lines
  • Refrain from talk or movement which could distract players nearby who are about to play a shot
  • Carry a rule book at all times.  Observe the rules of golf
  • Following these guidelines will speed up play and make your day more enjoyable
