Attention to safety

Security in golf is so important that the rules and etiquette of golf will be at the forefront of its opening chapter. If the player and the rigidity of golf clubs do not have enough understanding of the stadium will become a dangerous place. So players should be highly valued, such as:
● Do not place the ball in front of someone or practice empty swing, hit the ball or because inadvertently playing stones
, Twigs and turf may hit others. Again this is impolite.

● Be careful not to swing when someone walked beside him, while not from the side walk when others swing

Keep quiet

The environment is very important to keep quiet golf course. Players need to concentrate when playing any ring are likely to affect the quality of batting. So when the court must Yadisangyin speech. Even if you do not mind the same group of players, you have to take care of other groups playing nearby guests' needs. Also avoid running on the pitch. Ran on the field will cause other players distracted and irritable, but also damage the turf. Therefore, when necessary, try to gently brisk walking.
Control play speed

Golfers want to enjoy the fun of playing golf, but who do not want a whole day spent in court. If a player between the two batting wait too long, they will become impatient, but will lose power hitting. So to everyone's benefit, do not delay in time to play. Below are a few suggestions to maintain an appropriate pace of play:
● Before batting practice swing only once each, and then immediately hit the ball. Remember: If you hit the ball every
120, each additional 30 seconds to do the exercises, then add up every ball you spend one hour.

● In turn before you hit the ball well prepared, do not wait until it's your turn to start thinking about which club to use,

Do not let the ball hit the front of a group of players

Always remind myself to keep proper "play speed" will help you immediately before a group of players, and to ensure that does not affect the group behind to play. But immediately before a group at the same time must be careful not to hit the ball too close or even in front of the players. After the first set so be sure to leave all the players hit the ball a distance and then start playing.

Some players on the court when faced with slow play in front of people who would have been very impatient, which is understandable. If you wait too long, you can go over to remind the former group speed, but do not use them to hit the ball the way toward urging each other, this move is really dangerous, not any polite soar.

Requested in advance by

Forward the request in advance by a group of players are playing one of the most difficult to implement the most controversial situation easily. Difficult to implement because usually it is equal in front of a group they imply a delay of playing time, even if the facts can also cause other side of displeasure. So if you intend to request advance through, you should look for the right time, very politely raised. The following suggestions may wish to try:
● Before requesting first adopted, should be determined there is enough space in front. If you request more than
Before a group there is another group in play, then you will certainly be rejected.

● After obtaining permission should be thanked and complete the ball quickly. In case you hit a "bad shot" (through

Another ball, in order to avoid resentment of others. Keep calm, you can continue to play by the rules.

"Ready Golf" - let the players ready to hit

If not, enter a contest or other formal occasions, usually to play every shot, you can let the players ready to hit the ball between the same group of friends. In other words, even if the same group of a player's ball is not one of the farthest from the hole, as long as he (she) is well prepared to hit the ball, you can hit the ball first. The premise is the same group of players to reach a consensus in advance, indicating the field the ball will hit "Ready Golf", this fellow would not think you understand the rules, but it will also feel your gentleman.

Let the players ready to hit help accelerate the pace of play, but the same group must be determined before hitting everyone knows you're going to hit the ball, but you also know the location where other people at the time, because you do not want to let the ball hit the scene any person, of course you do not want to appear in the same group while golfers swing scene.

How to drive a golf cart

Players do not need a driver's license you can tee off in the stadium car, but the premise is that you must understand the basic knowledge of the field in the lane, and be able to do both at the same time driving will not damage the stadium turf, it will not offend other players.

Driving a motor car should remain constant speed ball, in order to avoid the larger issue due to the acceleration noise. Should always pay attention to the traffic around the golfer. Once someone is ready to hit the ball, you have to stop and wait for the ball after he hit the ball and then launch the car to continue driving.

Due to the situation in which the different seasons and the stadium, the ball will apply different golf cart driving rules, the most common, there are two:
● golf carts only on the lane - the rule applies to the ground than the marshy course, the purpose is to avoid the
