Etiquette & Behaviour- the do’s and don’ts
What to wear!
Make sure that you wear the right clothes for golf. Wearing your beach gear is not allowed!
Remember to tuck your shirt into your shorts or trousers
You can’t wear your flip flops or crocs while you play
Always wear socks with your golf shoes or tackies
Remember to take your cap/hat off when you go into the clubhouse - the sun doesn’t shine inside the clubhouse!
Mind your manners!
Don’t talk or move while someone is taking a practice swing or is about to play
Make sure that you are ready to hit the ball when it’s your turn to play
Help you’re friends look for their ball if it is lost, it saves a lot of time
You don’t need to talk on your cell phone. You’re playing with your friends anyway so who would you want to talk to ?
Never throw your clubs or damage the course if you are angry - it is a waste of energy
Keep you bag or cart close to you, it saves you going back to pick it up all the time
When you take the flag out of the hole avoid throwing it down on the green
Put your bag or cart on the side of the green closest to the next tee
Once you have finished on the green, move away quickly and fill out your score card while you wait for your turn on the next tee
Always walk quickly between your shots and keep up with the players in front of you. You’ll run out of time if you play too slowly
When you are practising on the range – keep your spot nice and tidy
