Golf In a Nutshell
Golf is a game played in a vast open field by individuals or teams. The aim of the game is to strike the golf balls with the special clubs into the holes. Generally there are nine or eighteen holes and the player who strikes the ball into the hole with least shots get to win the game. Along the way from taking the tee-off the aim is to get the ball onto the green in as few shots as possible via the fairway avoiding the common hazards found on a golf course such as the rough-basically thick, long grass. Trees, bunkers found along the fairway but more likely surrounding the green and other hazards such as lakes and boundaries.
Like all sports golf too is played with the objective of winning the game. Players have to follow the general rules and regulations of the game. All players are expected to maintain and follow some basic etiquette while on the game field or while communication with the players, organizers or workers.
Proper etiquette and good mannerism will be well accepted and the player might be well known and popular for his good behaviour. Thus the golf player needs to know and follow some basic etiquette. There is no written rule or gospel to preach such etiquette to the golf players. Forethought, conscious behavior and mutual respect will help the player to sustain himself in the game for long. But in general allowing players pass if your ball is lost for a long period of time and not playing in more than a group of 4 are my personal “favourites”- It’s just basic manners!
