Player Behaviour

ESGA Code of Conduct Policy

This Code of Conduct sets out the minimum standards expected when participating in ESGA Championships. You must ensure you are familiar with and understand the Code and meet these minimal standards at all times.

ESGA Guidance on Player Behaviour

All players are expected to play in the spirit of the game by:

  • Acting with integrity – for example, by following the Rules, applying all penalties, and being honest in all aspects of play.

  • Showing consideration to others – for example, by playing at a prompt pace, looking out for the safety of others, and not distracting the play of another player. If a player plays a ball in a direction where there might be a danger of hitting someone, they should immediately shout a warning, such as the traditional warning of “fore”.

  • Taking good care of the course– for example, by replacing divots, smoothing bunkers, repairing ball-marks, and not causing unnecessary damage to the course.
