2. God's name will be used only to praise.
3. Every day will be holy, with the Master as thy partner.
4. Thou shall not pick up golf balls while they are still rolling.
5. Thou shall not try to kill the ball, an easy stroke will take it farther.
6. Thou shall not steal tees or balls from your partner's golf bag.
7. Thou shall count all thy strokes.
8. Thou shall witness thy partner's birdie, which landed one inch from the hole.
9. Thou shall not covet thy partner's score.
10.Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's golf sweaters.
