Golf Apparel - It's All About Good Golf Etiquette
When playing golf, there are many rules. It isn't juat a matter
of turning up to a golf course, playing a round of golf and then
going home. You have to show good golf etiquette to be able to
fit in with your surroundings and also to be allowed to play at
the golf club.
One of the many rules of etiquette on the links is for each
golfer to wear the proper golf apparel. This is one of the most
important rules on the golf course. Following a strict dress
code on the golf course, is something that most golf clubs and
courses, even the public ones, require the golfers to do.
Probably the most popular rule is the one of requesting that the
golfers wear a collared shirt, although many courses also
require long pants to be worn - not jeans of course - and proper
golf shoes.
The primary rule of etiquette when actually hitting the links,
is to show up on schedule for your tee time. It is important to
be considerate of others and for you to not arrive a few minutes
before tee off, still wanting to have a few practice swings on
the driving range. Give yourself plenty of time, along with
practice time, you will also need to find somewhere to park your
car, purchase your golf balls, get changed into the correct golf
apparel and collect your cart.
Cell-phones are also a big no no. Cell-phones are not part of
the correct golf apparel and this should be considered before
setting off on the course. They should either be left behind in
your car or locker or if absolutely neccessary and needed for
emergencies, should be kept in your bag, turned off.
Be sure that, when
you are out on the golf course, you have a
good understanding of the rules by which the other golfers want
to play. Know, in advance, whether they honor the preceding
holes score, for insance, by letting the golfer with the best
score tee off on the next hole, or do they let whoever is ready
to tee off, go first? It is possible, if you aren't careful, ot
offend strangers, if you have decided to join their group when
you play, by not playing to their rules.
Along with the plaid pants, sweater vests, flat caps and other
stereotypical golf apparel, golfers are also best known for
their obsession with silence on the golf course. This does,
however, make sense when you are concentrating into putting
everything into your swing to hit a tiny ball with a long
nearrow stick. Silence is a must!
So, even if you are just playing a round of golf with your
friends, make sure to observe the basic rule of keeping quiet
during shots and not to stand in the shooters direct line of
vision.
Follow the rules, treat others on the course as you would like
to be treated and have a great enjoyable game.
