A Quick Course For The Golf Course: Does & Don’ts
Many people feel that all it takes is a few
golf lessons and then
suddenly they are experts. They are Tiger Woods in
the making…so they feel. Before you begin, try to shadow
someone at a golf club for free. Shadowing someone with more
experience in the game will certainly help your game. Just like in any sport,
for example, foot ball, it would be ridiculous for a foot ball fan
to where a tuxedo or his/her pajamas to a game.
Wearing improper or uncomfortable gear on the golf course. Improper
gear such as, tee shirts with word phrases or sayings that have
nothing to do with golf such as: ‘I’ve been married to my ball and
chain for 20 years….HELP!’ should not be worn on the course. When in
doubt…stick to plain golf shirts with neutral shades such as white,
beige, red, black purple and grey.
Another big no-no is wearing a shirt and tie with slacks and your
everyday office shoes is in appropriate gear and should be saved for
your next corporate meeting, not a golf game.
-Good manners are not just for the dinning room table or your
favorite restaurant.’ Before your first day on the course, make sure
that you eat healthy. Save the chili hotdogs for the Super Bowl.
Stay away from foods that cause gas and other ailments.
Make sure that you do not skip your meals. It would be tragic if you
fainted and had to be carried to the hospital in a stretcher.
Golf is a very quite yet intense game. Leave the following things at
home: Your 1980’s radio box. Many people feel that every sport
should include music, including their golf game. Save the music
boxes for your next family reunion.
-If you are a pet lover leave your pets at home. Pets are not
permitted on the golf course…it is not cute.
-Yelling and obnoxious talking is not permitted. Leave the talking
for after the game. Whistling and singing are very poor etiquette.
-The ultimate don’t is forgetting to place your cell phone on
vibrate. The major don’t is answering and making unnecessary phone
calls while your opponent is putting.
-Practice truly does make perfection, especially during a golf game.
Try not to act as if you know everything there is to know about golf. If
you do, you will need to have something to back it up like playing a good
game!

swing to look a little better so your buddies won't tease you

swing, but what is the best way to go about it?
Improve Your Chipping
The 18th hole is a lengthy par 4 with a tricky elevated green.
You've missed the green to the right on your approach. Your ball
sits about 8 feet off the green in the first cut of rough. The lie
isn't too bad, but it's a tricky shot.
Improve Your
Putting
Drive for show, putt for dough. Relax the nerves, trust your
line. Eyes over the ball, smooth take away. Accelerate through the
ball, and...
