 Get your etiquette spot on |
Honour The person who won the previous hole - or in the case of a drawn hole the last hole that was won - has the right to play first. This is known as 'having the honour'. In match play if a player plays out of turn, the opponent can make him replay the shot but without penalty. Etiquette - Always wait for the way ahead to become clear before teeing off
- Shout 'fore!' to alert other golfers if your ball is heading towards them
- Stand out of the way when your opponent is teeing off
- It is polite to be on time for a match - and in a tournament you can be disqualified for being late
- Be quiet when your opponent is playing
- Watch for partner's ball not just your own
- Take your practice swings off the tee
