In golf, etiquette means more than just shaking hands. The term comprises an entire set of principles that re for show your fellow players consideration, as well as consideration for the course itself. Failing to regard these codes of conduct is generally one of the most common pitfalls for golf beginners. That said; you should make yourself aware of the simpler rules before you end up setting foot on the course. We have a short guide here that we have compiled in order to help you out.
If you look after the golf course, then the golf course is going to look after you in turn, at least as far as the saying goes. This may not always hold true in the real world, but this isn't the issue that we're addressing here. If you cause damage to the golf course that you are playing on and you do not repair the damage during your round of golf, the offense is unforgivable.
If you have ever had to play from a divot in the fairway or a footmark in a bunker and have experienced the frustration associated with these experiences, then you probably have strong words of your very own in order to address the people that will cause harm to the course without looking after it once all is said and done.
Taking Care of the Course
Footprints in the Sand
1 - One of the most annoying mistakes that happens is when someone leaves club marks and footprints behind after they play in a sand bunker. Before you exit a sand bunker, check to make sure that you have not left any marks behind. If you have in fact left foot prints or marks from your club in the sand, use the provided rake to smooth these marks out so that nobody can tell you were there.
2 - You should never simply walk up straight along the face of the bunker, continuing to play on. If no rake is being provided to you, then you should attempt to use your golf club to the best of your ability to smooth out the sand in the bunker. The idea here is for you to leave the bunker in the exact same condition that you would like to find it in, regardless of how you found it when you arrived.
When it comes to taking care of the course, one of the biggest things that you should keep in mind is that you should always be leaving the course in the same state that you would like to find it in upon arriving. If you hate divots, footprints in the sand bunkers, holes in the ground from the flag or spike marks from golf shoes and all of the annoyances that these course damages bring, then make a point to clean up the damage you cause to the course so that you do not cause the same annoyances to the players that arrive to play after you have gone.
