Introduction to Golf etiquette

Golf is a game played in a vast open field by individuals or teams. The aim of the game is to strike the golf balls with the special clubs into the holes. Generally there are nine or eight holes and the player who strikes the ball into the hole with least shots get to win the game.

Like all sports golf too is played with the objective of winning the game. Players have to follow the general rules and regulations of the game. All players are expected to maintain and follow some basic etiquette while on the game field or while communication with the players, organizers or workers.

Proper etiquette and good mannerism will be well accepted and the player might be well known and popular for his good behavior. Thus the golf player needs to know and follow some basic etiquette. There is no written rule or gospel to preach such etiquette to the golf players. Forethought, conscious behavior and mutual respect will help the player to sustain himself in the game for long.

Golf is a long and tiring game and the need to maintain the poise and humor is much necessary to keep off frustration and tension among players. ‘Do unto others what you might want others to do unto you’ is a popular and very appropriate phrase as far as the inter relationship among the golf players is concerned. Respect others to get back the respect that you rightly deserve.

Carry yourself with ease and do not talk or laugh loudly. A decent behavior will go a long way in accessing your personality among the players and the viewers. Punctuality is a very imperative thing to follow especially when you are playing for tournaments or matches. Be in time or rather before the time allotted so that you can interact and get comfortable with the players and the coaches. Maintain complete silence when another player is focusing on his shot, and be ready to go for your shot without any delay. Leave the spot immediately making way for the next player after playing your shot.

Always maintain good relationship with the golf club members and administration people. Tip off the workers then and there, especially who offer to carry your bags around when you were playing the game and don’t always be too serious about the game. After its just a game played to have fun and entertainment.
