Golf eti+uette
Etiquette is a word that's often heard in relation to golf, more so than
with any other sport. But it's not just about manners.
The guidelines for good golf etiquette are what they are for several
very important reasons: Many of them relate to the safety of golfers,
many relate to pae of play !whih helps "eep the game enjoyable#,
and other rules of golf etiquette relate to maintaining the quality of the
golf ourse.
$n other words, golf etiquette is an essential part of the game. %nd it's
something that newomers to the game often learn as they go & on the
ourse, when playing with more e'periened golfers.
$f you are new to the game, or just need to brush up on your golf
etiquette, here are some basi rules of the road that will help "eep the
game enjoyable for you and those around you.
Keep It Safe
( )o not swing your lub until you "now that others in your group are
at a safe distane. *i"ewise, "eep your distane when others are
swinging. Be aware to steer lear of trouble.
( +hen pratiing your swing, never swing in the diretion of another
player. There may be pebbles or twigs or other matter in the grass
that ould fly up and injure a playing partner.
( )o not hit the ball until you are ertain that the group ahead of you
is out of range.
( $f your ball appears headed toward another player or another group,
give them a warning by yelling out, ,-ore., !an internationally
reogni/ed alert#
( 0bserve the safety suggestions posted in golf arts and drive
arefully. 1olf etiquette requires "eeping your art off the grass as
muh as possible.
( 2ever throw lubs in anger. $n addition to being rude and hildish, it
ould also be dangerous.
Maintain a Good Pace
( 3eep the round moving by being prepared to hit your shot when it is
your turn. 4ou probably don't li"e waiting on other groups & don't
ma"e other groups wait on you.
( The player who is away hits first in a group. 5owever, in friendly
mathes !as opposed to tournament play#, this rule an be ignored in
favor of ,ready play, & players hit as they are ready. %ll players should
agree to ,ready play, before it is put into effet.
( )o not spend too muh time loo"ing for a lost ball, partiularly if
there is a group behind you ready to play. $f you insist on ta"ing the
full five minutes alloted in the ruleboo" to loo" for lost balls, golf
etiquette says wave up the group behind to allow them to play
through.
( %lways try to "eep pae with the group ahead of you. $f spae opens
in front of you, allow a faster group to play through.
( +hen two players in a art hit to opposite sides of a hole, drive to
first ball and drop off that player with his lub, then drive to the
seond ball. %fter both players hit, meet up farther down the hole.
( +hen wal"ing from your art to your ball, ta"e a ouple lubs with
you. Ta"ing only one lub, then having to return to the art to retrieve
a different lub, is a huge time&waster.
( %lways leave the putting green as soon as your group has finished
putting.
Be Kind to the Course
( 0bserve art rules. 6ome ourses will post ,art path only, signs7
others will as" you to observe the ,89&degree rule., )o as you are
told.

damage these sensitive areas.

( %lways ra"e sand bun"ers after hitting to erase your footprints and
damage to the area where your ball was.

6oring in golf is sometimes a mystery to those unfamiliar with the
sport beause in golf & unli"e most other sports and games & it's the
person with the lowest sore who wins.
But golf soring is as simple as an be. Every time you ta"e a wha" at
that little white ball, that's a stro"e. Every time you ma"e a stro"e,
ount it. %t the end of eah hole, add up your stro"es for that hole and
write the number down. %t the end of the round, add up the stro"es
for eah hole and, there you have it, your golf sore.
There are some other irumstanes & for instane, every beginner
!every golfer of every level# will have to ta"e penalty stro"es here and
there. %t least, if you're playing stritly by the rules.
But most simply put, a golf sore is the number of times you wha"ed
that little ball around the ourse.
6ore in relation to par is also very easy to understand and ompute.
Eah hole is given a number representing ,par, & the number of
stro"es it should ta"e a s"illed golfer to finish that hole. $f the par is ;
and you ma"e a <, then your sore in relation to par is =&over. $f the
par is ; and you ma"e a >, then your sore in relation to par is =&
under.
$f par for the ourse is ?@ and you finished with a 8@, then your sore
in related to par is @9&over.
