For the first time, the R&A has felt it necessary to publish a fan code of conduct, at a time when some of golf’s biggest events have been marred by unsavory and even abusive behavior by spectators.

Bryson DeChambeau recently visited Northwood Golf Club, a secluded property shaded by redwoods in northern California, and it’s everything we love about golf.
