Golfer's Creed
return
As a golfer, I will RESPECT and be good to the game of golf:
Responsibility -- I will follow the rules of the golf course and take responsibility for all of my actions on the course, including the safe operation of a golf cart and the responsible consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Etiquette -- I will abide by the rules of etiquette, awaiting the proper time to hit, refraining from foul language and boisterous behavior, and generally conducting myself as a lady or gentleman on the course.
Sensitivity -- I will be sensitive to the environment and the course where I play and to those who maintain and manage it.
Pace -- I will keep up with the group ahead and maintain an appropriate pace of play.
Educate -- I will do my best to educate other golfers on the principles of this creed, by sharing it and living up to it at every opportunity.
Conditions -- I will strive to leave the course in better condition than I find it, by fixing my ball marks, (and those of others), replacing my divots, raking bunkers, and properly disposing of trash.
Traditions -- I will embrace the rules and traditions of this ancient and honorable game and respect my fellow golfers and the courses we are privileged to play.
By adopting and following the Golfer's Creed, your round of golf and the round of golf for those who follow will be greatly enhanced. A failure to follow the Golfer's Creed will diminish your golf experience and the experience of others.
