This article will guide you through the basics of etiquette. As when you first start golf there are many unwritten rules that you have to find out for yourself this guide will help find out these unofficial rules instead of learning the hard and making the mistakes yourself.
Playing the game before you tee off
1. Be ready to play your shot when it is your turn. Make sure you have all your equipment ready to go this includes golf club T. J. Logan Cardinals Jersey , glove tee and ball - this will speed the game up.
2. Turn your mobile phone off - A lot of golf clubs will not allow them to be on on the course or in the 19th (clubhouse).
3. Be still when others are hitting a shot and make sure shadow is not in their vision.
4. Wait until the playing group ahead are out of range before teeing off.
5. Stand facing the person playing, but behind the line of the ball - then you will not put them off and this the safest place for you to be.
6. Check the local rules on the back of the scorecard.
7. Keep golf trolleys and buggys off tees and greens as this can damage them for other players.

The person with best score has the 'honour' and goes first followed by the 2nd best score and so on.

Now playing on the course
1. After the tee shots, the player who hit the ball the shortest plays first.
2. Put your divots back, repair pitch marks on the green and rake bunkers after you have used them.
4. Before putting leave your clubs at the shortest point to the next hole.
5. In match play it is good form to give easy short putts but do not do it if it is for a crucial point or game.
6. Mark your score card on the next tee whilst it is not your turn to play, not on the green. This holds up groups behind.
7. If you hit a wayward ball which may be lost hit a provisional ball which you can use if you cannot find your original ball. If you find your original ball hit that and just pick the provisional up, nothing lost!
8. If you hit a ball into the rough Haason Reddick Cardinals Jersey , pick a spot on line with that point where you last saw the ball and walk directly to it. 9. If you accidentally hit your ball in the direction of another person, warn them by shouting 'Fore!' as loud as you can and wave your arms as a warning.
Watching Golf at Events
Watching the pro's at tournaments is great fun, but remember their round is just as important as yours when you play so observe the following etiquette for watching golf and be amazed at what they can do.
1. Do not take any device with a camera to tournaments during the actual days of competition. If your trigger finger cannot survive a day without a lens Christian Kirk Cardinals Jersey , some tournaments have cameras at the practice ground for you to take pictures of the players. Alternatively take your camera along on a practice day as they are usually tolerated then.
2. Turn your mobile phone off - you are out watching golf and nothing should interrupt something as enjoyable as that!
3. Do not make any noise when players are setting up to play or making a stroke.
4. Appreciate good play not bad play. If they yip it from two feet then sympathise rather than celebrate.
5. Think of the people watching behind you. Kneel down if you are at the front and keep an umbrella low if you are using one.
6. Wait until all the players have completed a hole before moving to the next tee to watch them hit. Tiger will still be there when you arrive.
