WHY GOLF ETIQUETTE IS IMPORTANT

General Golf Etiquette Hints

  • Never talk during another player's swing.

  • Do not yell out following a shot (unless you are yelling "fore"). Even if boisterous behavior doesn't bother your playing partners, there are other people on the course who may be within earshot.

  • Be aware of your shadow on the putting green. Don't stand in a place that causes your shadow to be cast across another player or that player's putting line.

  • Never walk through a playing partner's putting line. Your footprints might alter the path of a partner's putt. Step over the putting line, or walk around (behind) the partner's ball.

  • When a playing partner is swinging or putting, try to stand out of his or her line of vision, and remain quiet during the other golfer's swing.

Be Kind to the Course

  • Observe cart rules. Some courses will post "cart path only" signs; others will ask you to observe the "90-degree rule." Do as you are told.

  • Keep carts away from greens and hazards. The wheels on carts can damage these sensitive areas (see golf cart rules and etiquette).

  • Repair your divots in the fairway. (See How to repair divots)

  • Repair your ball marks on the green. (See How to repair ball marks)

  • Always rake sand bunkers after hitting to erase your footprints and damage to the area where your ball was. (See How to rake sand bunkers)

  • Avoid taking a divot on a practice swing.
