In this video, Neil Tappin and Jezz Ellwood take a look at the topic of etiquette on the golf course. Whilst the term itself might seem a little old-fashioned, this is about making sure that you are considerate of your playing partners and the course. These are mistakes that most experienced golfers make from time-to-time but if you're new to the game, there will be a chance you don't know some of these.

Good video. Concerning #2, a beginning golfer might not be aware that it's much easier to follow a playing partner's ball flight if your line of sight is nearly parallel to the aiming direction (stand somewhere well behind the shot). If you're looking perpendicular to the ball's flight, the direction from your eye to the ball changes extremely fast, making the ball flight difficult to follow.

@fretless05 Год назад

Good video! I wish everyone would see this; it'd make golf more fun for everyone. Golf is a game where fractions of a degree can make a big difference in the outcome of a drive or a putt! The little things matter when it comes to distraction. One thing I'd add on to your greens advice is not only to carry your putter, but also more than one wedge so you're prepared when you get to your ball and assess the lie. Sometimes, the club you picked for your chip isn't the best and having to walking back to your bag for another wedge adds a lot of time.

@coryschallert8915 11 месяцев назад

Been playing for 20+ years now. Everything you said in this video is great! 10/10! Once again all this is for NEW players.

@Hunter-zp5hd Год назад

I’m glad people put these videos out. It doesn’t take much consideration given to allow others to enjoy the game. These are all easy things to grasp, and not much to ask. Be considerate, be nice, be charitable while playing. One other thing of note is the single player. Many courses allow singles out, but as a single you have virtually no priority on the course. That means that if there is a foursome ahead of you, they don’t have to let you thru. Typically, if they have their collective heads out of their rears, they will probably allow you to play ahead. But you shouldn’t expect it. If I’m playing as a single, i hold back from the tee box. Within a hole or two, usually they just let me by without my asking. Again, be charitable.

@johnedmead6928 Месяц назад

Perhaps you should consider making more of these types of videos. Certainly golf etiquette is one of the biggest problems concerning pace of play and not to mention, unnessesary wear wear on the course, Or don't stand behind be in my putting line, when i'm playing. :)

@christopherstevenson8187 8 месяцев назад

I am new to golf and try and follow all these rules. One thing I always have a problem with is when you have someone going faster than you and before you even get a chance to let them in front of you. They just look at you with their arms crossed and shaking their head. This happens a lot. Like I said I am new to golf and once I am done the hole, I will let them in front of me on the next one or if I notice them coming up I will wait for them to let them play through but not if you are disrespectful. Then I am just going to make you wait. I feel like a lot of golfers forget how it was to learn the sport.

@NannyOggins 6 месяцев назад

I totally agree! Luckily there are more gents than trolls in the game but the trolls are always more vocal! I have only six months under my belt as a golfer but had lessons with the pro from day one and he taught us the etiquette . Unfortunately we still have to tolerate smug, “virtue signaling “ , headshakers who visit our club and it’s extremely disheartening for beginners. perhaps we should all wear L plates on our hats! Good luck with your golf. 😊

Slow play is the main topic of conversation at all levels of golf these days...

Pet Peeve of mine: taking too many practice swings (slow play). I understand the need to take a couple for sure. That's no problem, I take a couple of swings...but I've seen many people take as many as 6-8 practice swings before actually attempting to hit.

@jimwetzel1635 11 месяцев назад

Hi Neil, Im a brand new player and have just become aware of the absolute obsession with Pace of play that seems to be the number one crime we beginners are flayed for! Im trying very hard to learn as many tips as possible regarding this aspect of the game but one issue has me scratching my head! As a woman playing alongside my husband I Tee off from the red pin some distance ahead of his white Tee box. Im told that I must be ready to Tee up as soon as my husband has struck his ball and not cause a delay. Other than having my ball and Tee in one hand and driver in the other how can I safely speed up my turn?

@NTX35 Месяц назад

"I'm told that I must be ready to tee up as soon as my husband has struck his ball" Who ever said that is a huge jerk and/or dick and should stfu.

My longtime golf buddy is guilty of #6. He’ll walk between the pin and person lining up a putt all the time. He thinks that if he takes a long stride over his perceived line of your putt, he is okay. He has no clue where your line is because he can’t even lineup his own putt when standing behind his ball.😂

@leonfent5106 Год назад

Surely there are many more. 1) Ready golf, particularly when playing socially 2) Don't play pass the flag on the green. First one to putt, puts it on the ground. Last to putt out, replaces it. 3) No need for a full post-mortem prior to hitting off from next tee. While others are hitting off is the best time to mark your card for the prior hole, not standing in the middle of the green. 4) Play a provisional ball if you might have lost a ball. 5) You and your caddie have only THREE minutes to find your ball once you have arrived in the area it is most likely to be. There is no need for the whole group to trek over there. 6) Take your bag with you when looking for a ball. If you find it you don't have to do a big loop to play it.

You should never hit your ball deliberately at a group. That’s insane. If a ball hit by a driver hits a person in the temple and they are seriously injured, how are you going to live with yourself, not to mention being sued? I take slow play as way to work on my patience. Use the negative to develop a positive behavior in yourself. There is NO situation in which you should deliberately hit your ball into a group ahead of you. I don’t care how slow they are. It’s not acceptable.

@paulanderson7427 Год назад

So far this season, we've had the pleasure if playing behing groups that refuse to tee off until the group before them leaves the greens. I'm talking par 5s. As if they believe they're about to hit a 500 yard drive, only to have 3 of the 4 of them barely squib the ball past the ladies tees.

@TheGRBman Год назад

Go as a solo player and tell the starter that you're OK with joining a group that may be short a player...or if a tee time is necessary, call the pro shop and ask if a group needs a 4th. Also, I often go early in the morning hours to my local muni to play 9. As such, the starter will send me off on #10 with a partner or two. This is a great way to meet new people...and if you like playing together, you can exchange information.

@paulrounding5260 Месяц назад

When I joined a club I was informed of a group that welcomed new players, the group had 3 tee slots a week, all you did was turn up 30 minutes before the first slot and chuck your ball in the hat + £1 for whatever comp was arranged, there were normally about 12/20 of us, depending on the weather. Ask the club if there's a similar group.

@jeffrielly 8 месяцев назад

I always thought it was that if you catch up to a slower player, or group of players, and they are in the middle of playing a hole you let them finish the hole as they were there first, BUT on the next hole they are are sapposed to let you the faster player through.

These are all pretty decent tips for beginners. But hitting a ball around isn’t that serious. If you don’t know the people in front, behind, or with you; give them space and don’t be a dick. Otherwise, just don’t wack someone over the head with your club when you hit a bad shot. Enjoy the day and have fun, that’s what it’s really about if it’s casual.

I have learned to ask people to move when they are standing in this position. I have made a mess of too many tee shots because of the distraction of people standing there, especially if they decide to move a little during your back swing, it can completely ruin your concentration. Sometimes other players get a bit shitty when I ask them to move as if I am making a big deal of nothing but if I can see them, they are in the wrong spot.

My biggest pet peeve is when carts are involved. When you've got two players in a cart, drop one player off at his ball, let him get his yardage and club, then go over to your ball and get ready. There's no reason, unless you're in his line of play, that you should wait for your cart partner to play his shot then go over to your ball and play yours.

@paulthomson2375 Год назад

Good plan, unless you or your partner are infirm, no one really goes in a cart if they can walk.

@Hunter-zp5hd Год назад

What drives me nuts is when people in carts leave the cart in the fairway in front of the green and then go putt. Then when they get done they have to come back, sort their stuff, put their scores down, chat, then drive around the green finally. Hit your ball on the green, then take the darn cart away, park, then putt out. People don’t plan ahead, especially occasional golfers.

#5: Bring your wedge and putter to the ball location. Heck, sometimes I bring 3 or 4 wedges along with my putter!! The fact I can't figure out how far each club goes has NOTHING to do with it.....

@scooter5940 Месяц назад

I do that all the time. I’m not a great golfer, but around the green, it’s hard to say sometimes until you see your shot whether it’s best to pitch it up there with a 58, or run the ball by chipping with a pitching wedge.

@HolyGrailOfGolf Год назад

Don't stand behind the ball while the player is hitting! Stand behind their back so they can't see you at all. If they can see you, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MOVE UNTIL THE BALL IS IN THE AIR! So many times people will start to move toward the tee box during the downswing. Don't do it!

@@patton67 Sure, when you're hitting into the setting sun and you've pre-arranged it with the player that's all good. When it's people you don't know well and you're always wondering, "Are they going to move while I'm swinging?" You just don't even want that thought in your head. I played with a guy, who I'd asked several times, "can you please stand over there ..." and he kept doing it, but then he'd realize what he was doing right when I'm swinging and he'd try to quickly run away. Scared the hell out of me. Also, in a tournament where I was playing very well and driving the ball beautifully, I had a guy walk in behind me IN MY DOWNSWING. I panic hooked the ball into the hazard, dropped my club, looked at him and he said, "Did I just walk in while you were swinging?" He was a good player but just wasn't paying attention. I think we're always scared we might hit someone with the club. Most of us have accidentally hit things, swinging in the house and we absolutely don't ever want to hit anyone with a club.

I nearly came to blows with a guy over this a couple of years ago. We were on the 10th and our turn to play and this plonker, playing it as his first, is honestly 7 or 8 yards directly behind me warming up with practice swings - he was so close he was actually on the tee box. Not only did he give me lip when I asked him to please keep still but then him and the rest of his group did not even wait for us to all hit our seconds before bombing their drives straight at us.

@hebber1961 Год назад

That one to keep an eye on each others shots is particularly annoying to me. Numerous times I've golfed with people who've seen me shoot and say nothing when I ask where it went. I mean don't say a peep and just walk to their ball with no concern of where or what I may need to hit or reload. Many I know saw but won't open their mouth. I think they think we're competing against each other even though they never keep score for the group. It's a weird dynamic. I swear if it happens again....

@NannyOggins 6 месяцев назад

It may be that they really didn’t see where it went. Honestly, I really struggle to see some of the more lofted shots my husband makes because the white ball disappears into the white clouds! I use bright pink balls which are super easy to spot. If you’re playing with friends why not ask them politely why they don’t help you out, it may not be intentional.

@hebber1961 6 месяцев назад

@@NannyOggins These aren't friends. Friends speak up and interact. These are at business events, acquaintances or people you get paired with. It's not common but has happened a few times. They're just rude and self involved. I'm saying literally ask if they saw it and they ignore me and leave the tee box, if I don't tell them wait for me to reload. I've never said it but I will next time that since no-one saw my ball and you're walking away, where exactly should I shoot from down the course, aside from the top of your head.

An etiquette practice that seems to be waning is the removal of your cap when shaking hands with your opponent or playing companions when you finish your round or completion of match. When I was younger if we didn't remove our caps and a Committee member or God forbid the Captain saw it you'd be in for a proper rollicking. Sad to see these respectful touches (see it a lot on the PGA as well) disappear.

I'd have added something about slow putting. The amount of times I've been stuck behind groups where they're assessing putts from all angles, holding up the putter by the grip, pendulum style and generally taking ages like they're putting for the Ryder Cup. Yet it's actually for their umpteenth double bogey. As my father used to say, "Miss 'em quick!"
