Etiquette And Rules Every Golfer Should Know
It is a very good idea to know the basic golf rules and manners before you play for the first time. Golf is a game of rules and manners.
If you are playing golf with others, always wait for your turn to hit the ball. Wait your turn whether you are playing alone, in a twosome or a foursome. Never hit the ball at the same time as another player.
Always be courteous. Don't rush the group in front of you. Wait until they are well ahead of you before hitting your ball.
If you decide which club you will need and how you are going to hit it while waiting for your turn, it will keep the game moving. This will keep you ready and you won't feel rushed.
If your team is holding up the players behind you, let them play through. You can wave them through. If they are close enough, ask them if they would like to play through.
Try not to make any noise when someone is making a shot. It is very distracting for a golfer to be ready to tee off and just as he pulls back, someone decides to jingle coins in their pocket or noisily unwrap a piece of candy.
Always replace your divots. If your golf ball makes a deep impression when it lands on the green, use your divot tool to repair it. If you hit the golf ball in the fairway and a clod of grass and dirt goes flying, replace it. On some courses you just put the clod back and step on it to press it on. On most courses, there is a sand-seed mixture on your card to put into the divot.
Leave the green and replace the flag as soon as you have completed a hole. The next player will then be ready to play. Wait until you are back at your cart to count your score and write it on the scorecard.
