Etiquette

I read
Yves Thon-That's golf Rules & Etiquette Crystal Clear
and short list here some surprises for me as a newcomer to the game

 

 

Informal rules:

To the names: bogie par, birdie, eagle, albatross add:

Over par Name Also called
2 parrot double bogie
3 peacock triple bogie
4 turkey  
5 chicken  
6 dead chicken  
7 rat  
8 dead rat  

NOTE: the names one sometimes hears at a hole while 9 and more over are scored are strictly forbidden and their unlooked for employment should forthwith be reported to your club's committee.
