Golfers differ in their views of acceptable on-course conduct.

What constitutes good — or bad — golfer behavior? The answer is often a matter of opinion, and we want yours. The questions in the survey below cover a range of etiquette topics. Answering them will take less time than it does for your (slow-playing) partner to line up a putt.

Thank you for participating! The results will be shared in future installments of The Etiquetteist.
