The great Bobby Jones famously said: “In golf, the customs and etiquette and decorum are as important as the rules of play.”
Golf Etiquette
Stay quiet and stand still when the players are about to hit the ball.
For your own safety, always follow the directions of our Ambassadors and tournament security officials.
Always stay outside the ropes, unless crossing at a designated crosswalk under the direction of the Ambassadors.
It is appropriate for spectators to applaud or cheer successful strokes by a player, but excessive demonstrations are not appropriate. Spectators should never applaud the misfortune or misplay by a competitor.
If following a group or player from hole to hole, spectators should remain still until all players in that group have completed their shots, or putts on the green, and then move on to the next shot or hole.
Do not request a player's autograph during his round. Request autographs only after a player has completed his round.
Spectators will be removed immediately without warning for:
