Ask thousands of golfers to give one word associated with the sport and a number would use the word integrity. There are many faux pas that can be committed while playing the game, including etiquette mistakes and misunderstanding the rules, but cheating sits at the top of the pile.
The trouble is, it's impossible to regulate and monitor everyone. As such, it falls on the individual to play the game in the right spirit, be honest with theirselves and treat their fellow playing partners with respect. Golf requires a level playing field on which to compete.
