Golf Etiquette - Part 2
As we saw in Part 1 of the note, the label plays a very important part of the Rules of Golf.
Golf In consideration for other players is a very important rule and that few have in mind. A typical example of this is, the group is celebrating the cries, talking high, I can also mention the talking on cell phone, yelling at another group, and so on.
Rules say:
"Consideration for Other Players
Do not disturb or distract
Players should always show consideration for other players who are on the court and should not disturb their game by moving, talking or making unnecessary noise.
Players should ensure that electronic devices that carry the course does not distract other players.
On the teeing ground, a player should not put the ball on the tee until it is your turn to play.
Players should not stand close to or directly behind the ball or directly behind the hole when a player is to play.
On the Putting Green
On the putting green, no player should stand in the line of another player's putt or, when a stroke, cast a shadow over his line of putt.
Players should remain on or near the putting green until all players in the group have holed out. (GolfPar4.com Note: This Rule is little observed)
Scoring Scores
In stroke play, a player who serves as a marker should, if necessary, the way to the next tee, check the score with the player
appropriate and record it. "
They are so basic and simple rules that should be more fulfilled. Respect brings respect.
The etiquette of golf, also regulates the pace of play and imposes no clear rules to delay the court. Let's take a read:
"Pace of Play
Play at Good Pace and No Delays
Players should play at a good pace. The Committee may provide guidance on the pace of play that should meet all the players.
Each group is responsible for keeping the distance to the preceding group. If you have a clear hole and is delaying the group that follows, should give way regardless of the number of players that comprise it. When a group has no clear hole, but it is clear that the group still can play it faster, should give way.
Be Ready to Play
Players should be ready to play as soon as it is your turn to do so. When playing on or near a putting green, they should leave their bags or carts in a position to rapid eviction green toward the next tee (Note GolfPar4.com: Council " as trouble your Golf Game ") . Unavez completed the play of a hole, players should immediately leave the putting green.
Lost Ball
If a player believes his ball may be lost outside a water hazard or out-fenced, to save time, should play a provisional ball.
Players looking for a ball, it does not warn that it not be easily found, they should make a sign to players in the group ceding step back. Not five minutes should elapse before proceeding in the manner indicated.
Once given way, should not continue play until that group has passed is out of reach.
Priority on the Course
Unless the Committee otherwise stated, the priority in the field will be determined by the pace of play in each group. Any group that can play a round
Full entitled to pass a group that is playing a shorter round. The term "group" includes a single player. "
Good a review of the rules from time to time, renew the spirit of Golf, and make the game more fun. As one might hear on a golf course "Golf is played at slow, but walking fast."

Hi Golf Par 4, very good page!
My question is this:
- Is there a way to penalize those players, in order to speed up the game ahead, throw balls excessively? Or in the worst case, what would happen if a player hits the front line?
thank you!
It's a complex question with complex answer.
First if they throw balls excessively, it may end very badly to the conflict: whether it comes from the court officer to intervene, or if any injury to a lawsuit, a strong argument, and so on. It is a matter of respect and label the "wait your turn to play," and "player safety" in which insurance is the answer to this situation.
Sure a situation would end in a penalty or fine by the golf course, and even the suspension of handicap involved.
On the court would apply these rules:
Playing out of turn (Rule 10-2c)
c. Playing Out of Turn
If a competitor plays out of turn, no penalty and the ball is played as it lies. However, if the Committee determines that competitors have agreed to play out of turn to give one of them an advantage, they are disqualified.
(Playing stroke while another ball in motion after a stroke from the putting green - see Rule 16-1f)
(Order of play in threesomes and foursomes incorrect stroke play - see Rule 29-3)
Refusal to comply with a rule (Rule 3-4)
3-4. Refusal to Comply with Rule
If a competitor refuses to comply with a rule and thus affect the rights of another competitor, he is disqualified.
3-5. General Penalty
In stroke play, the penalty for a breach of a Rule is two strokes, unless otherwise provided.
Undue Delay, Slow Play (Rule 6-7)
The player must play without undue delay and in accordance with any pace of play direction that can establish the Committee. Between completion of a hole and the execution of the stroke from the next tee, the player must not unduly delay play.
PENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE 6-7:
Match play - Loss of hole; Stroke play - Two strokes.
Skills bogey and par - See Note 2 to Rule 32-1a.
Stableford competitions - See Note 2 to Rule 32-1b.
For recidivism - Disqualification.
Dear friends,
Congratulations on the page. The greatest pleasure and meaning for any golfer.
I refer to the answer given to Lucia, which I believe is not oriented to give full satisfaction to the proposed consultation.
In strictly golfing, if it is an official competition of the club, shall apply the rules of the R & A, which for the case referred to the disqualification of the player before the commission of a serious breach of etiquette. This empowers the Committee, as sanctioned by Rule 33-7.
In the case of non-competitive participation is optional Golf Committee, the Captain or the Board of the Club, to apply administrative sanctions, which can range from simple reprimand to suspension of sporting or social rights of the player, all in accordance to the relevant internal regulations.
A friendly greeting
George Searle
