1.       Let them Hole Out First

Even though how slow they play, let them hole out. Never, under any circumstances, allow yourself to take “overtake” the other group.

2.       Speed Your Game

Perform a dry swing only once and grab your next club while approaching your ball are two of some of the simple steps you could make in speeding up your game and letting others enjoy the golfing experience too.

3.       Avoid Course Damage

Step on the grass after you performed your swing to let the grass grow again. Rake the bunker after you made the shot. This not only shows how a gentleman should treat the course.

Howling is completely rude and unacceptable. The only time you shout is the only time you have to say “Fore” in order to ensure the safety of other players. As much as possible, put your  cellular phones in vibrate mode or switch them off. Some courses enforce the “No Cellphone” rule in some of their greens in order to maintain tranquillity. Please do follow them.
