What is the correct behavior when playing golf if a flight partner commits an etiquette violation?
If a playing partner or flight partner commits a breach of golf etiquette, you should inform them at the right moment without interfering negatively with their game or your own game. Most breaches of etiquette are not due to deliberate misconduct and most golfers are happy to be informed of mistakes or breaches of etiquette so that they can avoid them in the future. As a rule, there is no penalty for an etiquette violation committed by a flight partner. Only in the event of a breach of etiquette would the player or team receive penalty strokes in the counting game or hole loss in the Match Play. Of course, you must also inform your teammates of a breach of the rules and take the appropriate action.
