  It's not in the rules but a consideration of etiquette. Standing in line of the active player might disturb his concentration. For me this is true if s.o. stays on the opposite side of the flag.

  Also, prior to a shot to the green, show accurate green elevations when you drag the triangle pointer around the green. example: on kiawah, the elevations around the green rarely vary when dragging the pointer, but on several holes there is a significant slope that would be noticible in live play. Using a wedge when close shows the slope, but long shots don't appear to
