The third and last part of the analysis of the chapter "Tag" Book of Rules of Golf.
In this last and third part we will see that the Rules of Golf will take care of the court by the player and the penalty for not meeting the rules of etiquette in this chapter. They say the Rules of Golf:
"Care of the Course
Bunkers
Before leaving a bunker, players should carefully leveling and smoothing holes and footprints made by them and any others nearby made by others.
They should do it with a rake, if they have one at close range bunker.
Repair divots, ball marks and Damage by Shoes
Players should carefully repair any divot hole made by them and any damage to the putting green made by the impact of a ball (whether or not made by the player himself). Damage to the putting green caused by golf shoes should be repaired upon completion of the hole by all players in the group.
Preventing Unnecessary Damage
Players should avoid taking divots damage the court to taking practice swings or by hitting the head of a club into the ground, whether in anger or for any other reason.
By putting down bags or the flagstick, players should make sure not to damage the surface of the putting green.
To avoid damaging the hole, neither the players nor their caddies should stand too close to the same and should be careful when handling the flagstick or removing the ball from the hole. You should not use the head of a stick to draw a ball from the hole.
On the putting green, players should not rely on a stick, particularly when removing the ball from the hole.
Before the players leave the putting green, the flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole.
It should comply strictly with local advisories indicating that regulate the movement of golf carts.
Conclusion; Penalties for Violation
If players follow the guidelines in this section will make the game more enjoyable for everyone.
If the detriment of others throughout the round or over a certain period, a player systematically ignores these guidelines, it is recommended that the Committee would take appropriate disciplinary action for the player at fault. These can, for example, include prohibiting play on the pitch or in certain skills over a period of time. These measures are justified because it would protect the interest of the majority of golfers who want to play according to these guidelines.
In case of a serious breach of etiquette, the Committee may disqualify a player under Rule 33-7. "
Importantly, these rules of etiquette are part more of the "game of Golf," are not made for some players, but for ALL who play on a Golf Course, respect them, follow them and see which is more fun to play under the rules.

Very good site!. I would like to meet me on the following conduct in a game Medal Play.
1 - x plays a hole, the player makes 4 hits and scored marker 4, but the score certainly a possible error, no comments and notes. After the game, review the card, the signature and the player marker and delivered.
2 - Once submitted another player of the game refers to this potential error and consider making a complaint to the commission on the possible error, which saw the two. The question is:
A - Is the claim valid?,
B - So far in the card can claim filed?
C - If the claim is considered, the player can be punished, if he is not alerted to the fact at the time of write or sign the card?
Thank you. Greetings.
