Basic Etiquette for Beginners1. Showing Up On Time:

Arrive at least 30 minutes before your tee time to avoid backing up fellow golfers and ensure a smooth start to your game.

2. Golf Balls On The Practice Green:

Be considerate when using the practice green, especially if sharing the space. Limit yourself to two golf balls to maintain a respectful environment.

3. Picking Up The Flag:

If you’re the first to hole out, promptly pick up the flag to maintain the pace and assist golfers behind you in aligning their shots.

4. Carrying Clubs & Cart Path Only:

During “cart path only” situations, carry a few clubs to avoid time-consuming trips between your ball and the cart.

5. Looking For A Lost Ball:

If a ball is lost, adhere to the three-minute rule and consider taking a stroke penalty to keep the pace of play steady.

Avoid standing directly behind someone while they putt to maintain courtesy and ensure a distraction-free environment.

7. Walking Through A Player’s Line:

Never walk through a player’s putting line, respecting both the line to the cup and the extended area around it.

8. Golf Bag On The Tee Box:

If walking, keep your golf bag off the tee box to prevent scuffing and visual distractions.

9. Walking With Your Bags Across The Tee:

Avoid walking with your bags near the cup to prevent unnecessary imprints on the green.

10. Divot Patterns At The Range:

Maintain proper divot patterns at the driving range to preserve the turf and create a neat practice environment.

Don’t hesitate to pick up your ball if you’re behind, ensuring you keep up with the pace of play.

Limit phone use to appropriate moments, preserving the enjoyment of the game and the natural surroundings.
