Line of sight

In the Tee Box, other players should stand alongside the person playing, safely out of the way and not behind the player getting ready to swing. Do not take practice swings, select a club or replace one in the bag, cough, sneeze, or make other noise and distractions. You would not appreciate it if it were you trying to focus, so be respectful of others. Even moving is frowned upon, as your movements can be seen in a golfer's peripheral vision. Should someone ask you to move, do so, it is their right when the are getting ready to swing. According to the Rules of Golf, in fact, "No one should move, talk, or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke."

If you are getting ready to swing, make sure that no one is behind you or in the path of your swing. After your drive, remember to pick up your tee.
