  4. Stop playing after reaching maximum strokes per club's in-house rules.

  5. Lost ball, out of bounds and ball inside the bunker? Follow the club's in-house rules.

  6. Play your ball first before helping a fellow player to look for his/her lost ball.

  7. Pay attention on the golf game itself by refraining from other distracting activities. 

  8. Players are encourage to putt with the flagstick in under favorable course condition.
