2019 USGA New Rule: Rule 1.2a consolidates the expected standards of player conduct:

• It declares that players are expected to play in the spirit of the game by acting with integrity, showing consideration to others and taking good care of the course.

• It unequivocally states the Committee’s authority to disqualify a player for any serious misconduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.

• In place of the unclear previous concept of “breach of etiquette”, it uses the more direct and stronger phrases “misconduct” and “serious misconduct.”

 

Rule 1.2b also gives the Committee authority to adopt its own Code of Conduct and to set penalties for its breach.
