Basic Etiquette

photo credit: srqpix     Every player should be familiar with the most important rules of golf etiquette so lets go over some here:   1.) There should be no talking, whatsoever, during a stroke.   2.)   No tee shots should be hit until the party ahead has hit their second shots and are out of range.   3.)   Never hit approach shots until everyone is off (and away from) the green.   4.)   Never practice the putt you missed the first time.   5.)   If you are looking for a lost ball allow players to play through.   6.)   Any match playing a whole round has the right to pass through anyone playing a shorter round.   7.)   If a match falls more than one hole behind, it must allow players to play through upon request.
