Hello everyone this week I'm going to talk about a more laid back and yes boring topic but I think it is a topic that is worth talking about. This week we talk about Golf Etiquette 101. What to do and what not to do while playing a round of golf on the course.

There are many books and blogs about golf etiquette and yes there is of course a golf rule and etiquette for dummies book. I have read a few of the books and websites of golf etiquette, so when I go up north on golf trips I don't look like a fool when I'm not sure what to do in a certain situation. They even have smart phone apps to help you while you are on the course.

I found the best place to find out about the golf etiquette is from the United States Golf Association. There website linking to golf etiquette is here: USGA Golf Etiquette 101. This website is very helpful as it lists all the different types of situations that could occur on the course.

One big issue that I have ran into is a problem with friends on the putting green. Golf etiquette says that you should never stand in another players line of putt as you also should be quiet while anyone is getting ready to swing.

Another issue that most beginners don't know is ball etiquette and fixing divots. Straight from the USGA site they state the following about ball marks and divots: "Players should carefully repair any divot holes made by them and any damage to the putting green made by the impact of a ball (whether or not made by the player himself). On completion of the hole by all players in the group, damage to the putting green caused by golf shoes should be repaired."

These are the two biggest issues that I have had happened while I was on a course. For the best round of play with the best experience play with great golf etiquette.
