"From
The Ground Up / How To Shoot In The 70's"
Chapter Seven:
Rules, Etiquette Ethics and Speed of Play |
Some of these things
are kind of touchy subjects. But of course I will comment on them.
Golf etiquette is fairly simple, but often overlooked. Probably the most
unknown or unfollowed rule of etiquette that is not followed is "whose
turn it is." This is very simple. Whoever is furthest from
the hole, regardless of anything else. Now you may play with folks
that use the fire when ready style of play, and that's fine. But
you should always be aware of whose turn it is anyway. It slows down
play when player A is waiting for player B to hit when it is player A's
turn. Usually player A is just being nice, but if I'm player B I
don't want to go out of turn, It can actually throw me off a little and
interrupts my routine a little bit. If I'm not on the green and another
person is, but he's further away, it's his turn. Period. It's
a rule and if everyone were aware of when it was or wasn't his turn all
confusion about the matter would cease. The only interruption that would
occur is if one had to determine who was further out.
