There are not many games that depend upon the honesty and integrity of the player. In golf, it is normal for a player in breach of a Rule to notify his opponent or fellow competitor of the penalty. This type of behavior is expected on the course, whereas it may be the exception in other sports. Players who know the Rules want to play by them and enforce them, even when it means they have to add a penalty stroke to their score. The values that the Rules instill will benefit players well beyond the golf course.
