Golf Tips For Beginners - Importance of Golf Etiquette
Sherman is an avid golfer sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge about the greatest game on earth.
Golf Etiquette is a code that governs the expectations of golf social behavior. Having a good golf etiquette is equally if not more important then playing the game well. You'll find golfers with varying skill levels playing on the same golf course in a prestigious club but find one member with lacking golf etiquette and that player may be disallowed from playing at the club again.
Golf Etiquette #3: Take divots and fill them with sand. Taking divots is actually the right way to play golf. Most beginner golfers feel bad when they see a chunk of soil fly up. Don't be. One way to overcome that fear is to carry sand with you so that it helps you overcome that psychological fear of "tearing holes in the fairway". Taking dollar bill divots is the correct way to play golf. Having said that, even if a marshall sees an extra large chunk of soil flying through the air, watching you replace that divot with sand will make everyone happy because of the consideration shown.
Simple Golf Etiquette #2: When a playing partner is lining up a putt, be careful that your shadow does not fall between his ball and the hole. This is distracting and can cause your partner to miss the putt.
Simple Golf Etiquette #1: Observe a brief few seconds of silence when your playing partners are teeing off or putting. Perhaps we like to chat with our golf buddies, we all do. We can chat when we're driving up to the next tee, or walking to the next hole. Just for 4 seconds, we can stop for a playing partner to focus on his golf shot or putt before continuing with the conversation.
