Another etiquette tip is to watch your playing partners shots. I've played with people who watch horse races or footy games while they are playing golf. Some even mount a tablet computer in their motorised cart. Now while they do turn off the volume, I've had a couple of occasions where i hit a tee shot into trees and i ask them if they saw it any better than me. They were watching their device and not my ball. Gave them the what for and asked "Are you here to play golf or watch the races? Pick one".

It's good to be courteous and aid the players in my group in finding their tee shot. But, their ball is not my response. As for your "giving them the what for" because their concentration wasn't on finding your ball. Well you wouldn't have gotten a moment of my assistance. But you would have gotten my focus as I proceeded to remind you of your place with my golf game

Most comprehensive video I’ve seen on etiquette, well done! Many “seasoned” golfers I’ve played with could certainly get a few pointers this!
@apagoogootwo7552Ай бұрын
to me, there are two kinds of golf; one where you are playing against the other golfer(s) in your group, and the other, where players are helping each other play their best round against the course. i mostly play the latter, and the etiquette changes. club selection is discussed openly, bad drives are often met with "do you want to hit another?" and we most often stand behind the person hitting. this is so that the person striking the ball does not feel the need to look up because they know that their partner has eyes on the ball in flight. looking up is a major hurdle of the game - it often wrecks a shot. knowing someone is watching the trajectory is a great help and i find i keep my head down more consistently. for either style of golf though, placement of the rakes around sand traps is important; when you are done with the rake, be sure to place it in such a way that it neither keeps someone's ball out of the sand nor steers someone's ball into the sand.

It's become convention among the groups I play with (mostly 10- to 20- handicappers) that a birdie on any hole gets the " honor" on the next tee, but otherwise we observe ready golf. Seems to work well for us.

Great video. I have a golf buddy who kind of self appointed himself to be my coach. He’s a great short game player and I have asked him for tips around the green. On a few occasions on the course he has told me to “leave the driver in the bag” or “leave the hybrid in the bag” just after I’ve hit a bad shot. I do hit bad shots with every club in my bag at some point. When I do hit a bad shot I am conscious of slow play and hit a provisional and watch the clock when searching for my ball. He is just trying to help but it doesn’t. I mentioned it to him yesterday to not do it. You’d swear I insulted his mother. Played the last 3 holes in silence 🤷♂️

Regarding golf attire it can be a good idea to check with the course when you book your Tee time as some clubs are quite strict about clothing. Our club is quite specific about what they expect however, I don’t know whether you would be turned away if you rocked up in a bikini top or cargo pants but I wouldn’t want to risk it Thanks for this, Im a beginner with only just a year’s experience so reiterating the etiquette is always useful.

Actually I would argue against the 45 degree behind when someone is hitting, in caddie training we were told at least 5 yards either directly to their front or behind, but not toward their back arm because that's in the peripheral view. Front and behind at least 5 yards are blind spots
@itsnotokgolfАй бұрын
Only other things I would add is: 1. Please for the love of god (beginners I'm talking to you) please repair your pitch marks the RIGHT WAY, if you don't, you'll kill the grass. 2. When tending the flagstick, always hold the flag regardless of wind 3. Another tip when leaving the green is do a quick 360 look as you're walking off, it's possible you or a playing partner will at some point in the round leave a putter cover on the ground!

Great vid! On the Provisional Ball, how do you count strokes on that (if later you find the original ball or not)?
@paulh75895 ай бұрын
The provisional is treated like you hit your first ball O.B. When you hit your provisional you are hitting your 3rd shot. If you find your first shot in play there is no penalty. Just pick up the provisional, and hit your first shot.

“Ready golf” has nothing to do with teeing order. It is more related to order of play through the hole within your foursome. When you get to the tee, honor is still observed and does not slow pace of play whatsoever.

Cap off and shake hands after the last putt on 18th. No grumping about beginners in the group. Praising good play from your colleagues even if you died a little inside when they left it 50cm from the flag or chipped in after an awful approach.
