The First Tee
Welcome to the OLMGC Website
|
In the immortal words of Arnold Palmer:
DON'T
BE THE SLOWEST PLAYER. Play "ready golf" (hit when
ready, even if you aren't away) until you reach the
green. Encourage everyone to move quickly enough
so you find yourself right behind the group in front
several times, both early and late in the round.
KEEP
YOUR TEMPER UNDER CONTROL. Throwing clubs,
sulking, and barking profanity make everyone uneasy.
We all have our moments of frustration, but the trick
is to vent in an inoffensive way.
LEND A HAND WHEN YOU CAN. It's easy to help out
your fellow players if you just pay attention. One
obvious way is looking for lost balls -- better yet,
watching errant shots so they don't turn into lost
balls.
"Just
know that golf has a way of returning favors, and
every piece of etiquette you practice will be repaid
tenfold." - Arnie
