Golf Etiquette By: Zack Miller
Basic Golf Rules • Do not stand near person swinging a club. • If the ball goes off course, and is headed for other golfers, yell “FORE!” • If you swing and miss it does not count as a stroke. • If you swing and it moves no matter if it is only an inch, it counts as a stoke.
Basic Golf Rules (cont.) • Always replace your divots • Know where your club is at all times and others need to be aware of where your club is as well! • First shot off a hole the ball is put on a tee between the tee off markers. Who ever has the lowest score, hits first.
Basic Golf Rules (cont.) • No matter if you are swinging or putting, don’t take all day to hit the ball! • Make sure you know if there is a dress code required
Scoring = Integrity • The person with the lowest score wins • STROKE = Every time you hit the ball. Count the number of strokes it takes to get the ball from the tee to the cup. • PAR = Then number of stokes it should take the skilled golfer from the tee to the cup. • BIRDIE = One stroke under Par • EAGLE= Two Strokes under Par • BOGGIE= One stroke over Par
