1.TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE - When you are playing make sure that your phone is turned off or at least is on silent mode. 

​

2. DON’T WALK ON ANOTHER GOLFERS LINE - When you’re on the course pay attention to your playing partner’s line. As the golf greens are very soft, if you walk on his/her line it creates a footprint which may interfere with their putt

 

3. BEWARE OF YOUR SHADOW - When you are on the putting green pay attention to your shadow.

​

4.  DON’T STAND IN VIEWABLE LINE OF OTHERS - Whenever someone else is playing or getting ready to hit a shot, especially on the green, make sure you are standing at a proper distance, and not in the viewable line of the golfer. 

​

5. BE SILENT WHEN OTHERS ARE HITTING - If someone is about to hit or preparing for the hit, keep still. Distracting activities are considered as very poor golf etiquette. Always stand in an appropriate place and be silent. distracting sounds like ruffling with clubs in the bag, or throwing empty bottles away into a nearby win, or any noise would be consider a distraction. Bear in mind golfers playing the adjacent fairways.

​

6. ARRIVE 10 MINUTES AT TEEBOX BEFORE TEE TIME - be at the tee box 10 min before your tee time. You should respect others time and not be late on the course.

​

7. SHOUT “FORE” IF BALL IS HEADING TO OTHERS - When you hit your ball, and it’s heading towards another human being, be it another golfer, the golf course maintenance personnel, a caddy, a golf marshal, shout “fore” so that person is aware and can duck for safety.

​

8. DROPPING AT INCORRECT PLACES - Consult with your playing partners as to the proper relief area in which to drop your ball. If the ball is dropped incorrectly you may lift the ball and drop it as many times as you want. However, if the ball is dropped incorrectly and you play it, a penalty will incur. Failure to follow this procedure can lead to disqualification from the tournament.

​

9. MOVE TO THE NEXT HOLE FIRST, SCORE/CLEAN EQUIPMENT LATER - Part of keeping pace with the game, a lot of things can be done to speed up the game. You can do the following at the next hole:

• Clean clubs

• Clean balls

• Write scores down

• Put clubs into bag when buggy-mate is ready to go
   

10. IF YOU CAN’T SEE THE FLIGHT IN FRONT, YOU’RE SLOW

A few other things you can do to speed up:

• Play ready golf. Don’t need to go in turn of honour (player who played the least strokes the hole before).

• Be ready for your turn. Don’t dilly dally when it’s your turn, be aware, and once it’s your turn, go.

• Get to the tee box as soon as you arrive to the hole.

• Help a struggling player to rake bunkers, find their ball, lift up the pin, carry clubs. We all have that one occasional hole where we blow up, and are all over the place. Help others to speed up too.

• Contrary to popular belief, that you are deemed to be slow if the flight behind is on your tail, that’s not true. You are slow if you cannot see the flight in front of you. Speed up, so everyone can be happy.
