    The 10 Commandments of Golf Etiquette

    Even if you are not a golf pro, being your best on the course will make you shine. Here are the rules of etiquette for you to follow.

    Rule 1
    Be on time. Many courses will require tee time appointments. Make sure that you are there at least 30 minutes early. This should give you plenty of time to park, get your clubs, rent a cart and warm-up.
    Rule 2
    Obey the dress code. If you don’t know the dress code, be sure to call and ask ahead of time. Some courses will prohibit jeans. Some will also forbid shorts. Some courses require your shoes to not have spikes. If you carry a cell phone, be sure to ask before you hit the course. Leave it behind if you can so that people will not be disturbed by your calls.
    Rule 3
    Set an order of play. Use the old coin toss method or simply decide, but have a plan before you begin play.
    Rule 4
    Be quite and still when a golfer in your group is preparing to hit. Be especially quite while they are putting. Also don’t cloud a golfer’s line of vision.
    Rule 5
    Watch where you hit. Don’t swing if you might hit a fellow golfer with a ball. Also don’t hit if your ball may fall into a group ahead of you. It’s common sense for most people not to stand behind someone swinging, but check just in case.
    Rule 6
    Be protective. Protect the greens by replacing your divots and repairing ball marks. Don’t disturb the sand traps any more than necessary and rake them smooth when you are done. Exit the sand trap on the shallow side to avoid damaging it.
    Rule 7
    Follow cart rules. If you are driving, know the rules of the course. Carts may be prohibited if the green is wet and on rainy days. Some require that carts stay on paths. Always keep your cart a good distance away from the greens and trees and never park in another golfer’s way.
    Rule 8
    Don’t try to clinch a business deal on the green, especially if it is going to disturb someone’s concentration. Despite what many TV shows and movies portray, business deals are rarely clinched on the green.
    It is also recommended that any betting on a game be kept nominal or as a “friendly” bet. Anything large can only create animosity.
    Rule 9
    If you are using a caddy or assistant that is offered by the course, be sure to tip them. Remember to ask a “regular” what the normal amount is.
    Rule 10
    Have Fun!
