Yes, golf has many little weird rules and courtesies doesn't it? I believe this was one of the first things I was taught as a youngster. The following refers to on the green but I guess it would follow that it would be considered courteous anywhere on the course.


".......It is also considered rude to walk in the path of another golfer's putt because it may alter the path of the putt. You should also be aware of your shadow while another golfer is putting. Make sure that you shadow does not fall in the path of a putt because it is distracting."
