golf etiquette
Links behavioral code
Golf etiquette is the set of unwritten rules governing behavior on a golf course—being quiet during others' shots, repairing divots and ball marks, keeping pace of play, not walking in putting lines.
These conventions exist partly to maintain course conditions and partly to preserve the genteel atmosphere the sport cultivates: His golf etiquette was impeccable.
