AI Prompt 2025. 4. 6. 10:34Please Tell Me the Basic Manners When You Go to the Field: A Beginner’s Guide to Golf Etiquette
※ Golf is more than just a sport—it's a game of integrity, patience, and respect. Unlike many other sports, golf doesn’t rely on referees or umpires to monitor every move; instead, it’s built on the foundation of honesty and self-discipline. That’s why golf etiquette is just as important as the swing itself. Whether you're stepping onto the fairway for the first time or you're preparing for your first round at a new course, understanding basic golf manners can help you enjoy the game more and earn the respect of fellow players.
In this post, I’ll walk you through the essential field manners every golfer should know—from how to dress to how to behave on the course—so you can tee off with confidence. 😅
1. Dress Code: Look the Part
Most golf courses have a dress code, even public ones. Collared shirts, golf pants or shorts, and proper golf shoes are usually the standard. Avoid jeans, tank tops, and sneakers unless the course explicitly allows them. If in doubt, check the course's website or call ahead.
Pro Tip: Always wear a cap or visor to shield your eyes from the sun—and make sure it’s facing forward!
2. Arrive Early and Check In
Don’t arrive at the course 5 minutes before your tee time. Show up at least 30 minutes early to check in, warm up at the range, and be ready to tee off on time. Being punctual shows respect for your playing partners and the course schedule.
3. Silence and Stillness During Shots
When someone is preparing to swing, be silent and stand still. Avoid walking in their line of sight or moving around behind them. Even subtle movements can be distracting.
Pro Tip: If you're using a golf cart, park it away from the line of play before anyone tees off.
4. Take Care of the Course
Treat the course like your own backyard. Always:
- Replace divots on the fairway.
- Rake bunkers after hitting out of them.
- Fix pitch marks on the green. These small acts show you respect the course and everyone else playing it.
5. Pace of Play: Keep It Moving
Slow play can ruin the rhythm of a round for everyone. Be ready to hit when it’s your turn, and don’t take more than 30-45 seconds to play your shot. If you're falling behind, let faster groups play through.
6. Safety First
Always be aware of where other players are before swinging. Never swing a club when someone is close by, and shout “Fore!” loudly if your ball might hit someone.

7. Respect the Quiet of the Green
The putting green is a sacred space. Don’t walk in another player’s putting line, avoid stepping too close to the hole, and never drag your feet. Once you finish the hole, move away quickly so the next group can play.
8. Phone Use and Conversations
Keep your phone on silent and avoid loud phone conversations. Golf is a time for focus and nature—not for catching up on work calls or checking social media.
9. Golf Cart Manners
Follow the cart path rules posted by the course. Many courses have a “90-degree rule,” which means you drive on the path until you’re even with your ball, then drive straight onto the fairway. Never drive too close to the green or tee boxes.
10. Be a Good Playing Partner
Offer encouragement, be polite, and keep the mood friendly. Golf is a social game, and the better you are as a playing partner, the more likely you’ll be invited back.
Conclusion:
Golf etiquette isn’t about being fancy—it’s about being respectful. By following these basic manners, you not only avoid common faux pas but also show that you belong on the course. The more you respect the game, the more the game will reward you—not just with better rounds, but with better company, smoother play, and a whole lot more fun.
So next time you head to the field, bring your clubs, your smile, and a good dose of golf manners. See you on the green!
