Golf etiquette is built on respect-for fellow players, the course, and the game itself. Key practices include maintaining an appropriate pace of play, being ready when it is your turn, repairing divots and ball marks, raking bunkers, and keeping noise and movement to a minimum during shots.

Players should also prioritize safety, communicate clearly with their group, allow faster groups to play through when appropriate, and demonstrate good sportsmanship regardless of score. Proper etiquette extends beyond the course as well, including respectful behavior in clubhouses and adherence to local rules and dress standards.

By following these principles, golfers help preserve course conditions, reduce delays, create a welcoming environment, and uphold the traditions that make the game enjoyable for everyone.
