The true gentleman that you are, on the golf course

GOLF is the most chal lenging and fun game that you will ever play. It is governed by rules and etiquette that must be followed strictly. The combination of rules and etiquette abided by makes a round of golf pleasant, is a gentleman’s game, indeed.

Just to make it clear, I call this gentleman’s game, because it constitutes a set of rules and etiquette that are obligatory to follow. It does not literally mean that only “men” can play this game. All types of genders and all ages only cover the more important etiquette part

Going back, you will find players who rampantly break the rules, very unethical, and complain all the time. These types of players think they own the course, including the work ought to learn more about etiquette.

Greenside sand bunkers and fairway bunkers are always raked evenly in a certain manner. After making a shot from inside the bunker, please rake the spot from which you made the shot from, including the footprints you’ve made. You can ask your caddy to do it for you, if you have one. It will greatly reduce the level of annoyance when another player’s ball winds up on a better lie.

When on the green, never step on another player’s line of putt. You can mark your golf divots that you may see around the area where you made your shot. It is nice to make the course playable for everyone.

It is unethical to give unsolicited advice. When given an unsolicited advice, it alters the mindset and some psychological factors of the player. If you want to mess up another

These basic etiquette calls for a true gentle man that you are, whoever you are.
