Golf is an intimidating sport so we want to make it easier for you to feel comfortable from the get-go. This weekâs tip: How to Act Like a Golfer â Part 1
A big no-no, donât use your cell phone! It slows down play and affects the players behind you. Be considerate of other players in your group and at the course. Itâs a good idea to keep your phone on silent or vibrate as well when playing so if the ringer goes off, other players arenât distracted or annoyed.
Another thing to consider: donât talk when another golfer is hitting their ball. Golf is a highly concentrated sport and it polite to be courteous of other players during their turn. Keep the fun going and the conversations flowing while you walk or drive to the next shot, during play â not so much.
Kathryn warns you to use your âindoor voiceâ. Sure, golf can be very exciting when you hit a great shot or make that 20-foot putt so enjoying those moments are expected. Celebrations are welcomed, but no one wants to hear you curse or scream after every shot. Enjoy the good shots and brush off the bad. Your group will thank you for it.
