If a person at a square was drunk, bumping into people and screaming profanities while dancing, would anyone say “They’re just having fun”? It’s the same thing in golf and many other activities.
In bowling, the person on the right goes first. You wouldn’t throw a bowling ball into another lane because it’s fun. You wouldn’t toss a cue stick onto a table while someone else is shooting pool.
This is simple common courtesy. It has nothing to do with rules or players abilities.

Why is it in football the fans shout at the top of their lungs either to encourage their team or make it difficult for the opposing team player to hear the play call. This is accepted etiquette. In the sport of golf the fans are expected to hold their breath until "premadonna" player strikes the ball then one can shout "in the hole". Who gets to make up these so called rules of etiquette ?
