3.  - Golfers should warm up before engaging in a
full game, making their way through each type
of iron club before moving on to wooden
clubs. Furthermore, players should be
conscientious of the number of balls hit before
a game, not leaving hundreds of them in the
middle of a field for a caddy to collect.
- Local course rules often vary, so players
should be aware of them before beginning.
Similarly, it should be confirmed that each
player in a round is comfortable with the stakes
that have been established.

4.  - Equal pacing among groups in front of
and behind one another should be
established to avoid holding up an
approaching group. About 30-45 seconds is
the most each player should take between
selecting his or her club and shooting the
ball. Players should also walk at a
reasonable speed in between each shot.
