The Spirit of the Game

Unlike many sports, golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf.

（高尔夫）运动之精神

与很多运动项目不同，在大多情况下，高尔夫运动是在没有裁判人员的监督下进行的。该运动取决于球员个人为其他球员着想和遵守规则的内在品质。不管比赛竞争程度如何，在任何时候，所有球员都应该以自律的方式约束其行为，体现良好的礼貌和运动员精神。这是高尔夫运动的精神所在。[猛虎译]
