Etiquette Review Part II

photo credit: Dru Bloomfield – At Home in Scottsdale   How do you conduct yourself on the golf course?  Let’s review the basics of good etiquette:  If Someone is Hitting > Do not move or talk or stand to close (especially behind) to the golfer who’s preparing to take their shot.  This is especially so on the putting green.  Don’t allow your shadow to flow across the putting line of the person who’s putting.  Don’t Be Slow > With a foursome, a typical 18 hole round should last no more than 4 hours.  Prepare for each hole beforehand, not when you reach the ball.  The rules allow 5  minutes for a lost ball.  Let Others Play Through > Although foursomes have the right-of-way, allow faster players to play through especially if you are looking for a lost ball.
