10 Rules for Good Golf Etiquette — Arnold Palmer, Golf Digest, 07.27.2008
- Don’t be the slowest player — Play “ready golf” (hit when ready, even if you aren’t away) until you reach the green, be prepared to play when it’s your turn and never search for a lost ball for more than 5 minutes. Encourage everyone to move quickly enough so you are “keeping up with” the group in front of you.
- Keep your temper under control — We all have our moments of frustration, but the trick is to vent in an inoffensive way. I often follow a bad hole by hitting the next tee shot a little harder — for better or worse.
- Respect other people’s time — Always make your tee times and show up for your lesson with the pro a little early. Social functions are no exception.
- Repair the ground you play on — Fix ball marks, replace divots and rake bunkers (make the area nice and smooth).
- Be a silent partner — Stand still from the time a player sets himself/herself until the ball has left the club. Never walk in someone’s line of play. The first thing to note when you walk onto a green is the location of every ball in your group, then steer clear of their lines to the hole. For example, position yourself directly across or at a diagonal from a player setting up. Never stand on the line of play, either beyond the hole or directly behind the ball.
