Golf Etiquette
GOLF ETIQUETTE
-
Obey all golf course rules.
-
Respect all players, property and rules
-
Groups must be no larger than 5 players.
-
Be respectful when players are throwing. (no talking, etc)
-
Be respectful of ball golfers (Avoid yelling or loud cheers as much as possible to avoid distracting ball golfers).
-
Keep up the pace. When it is your turn you have 30 seconds to throw.
-
Honours: The players should throw in order of lowest score on the previous hole.
-
On all subsequent throws, the players farthest from the basket should throw first. Stay behind the player who is throwing until the throw is complete. Do not walk in front of a player’s throwing line when they are preparing to throw.
-
All players should watch players throw and help find discs for a maximum of 3 minutes if other groups are waiting behind.
-
Remove your disc from the basket before other players shoot. (sometimes discs can bounce out of the basic after contact with a disc in the basket)
-
Let faster players/groups play through. (ie: a group of 2 behind your foursome).
-
If the group in front of you is moving slowly, then respectively ask to play through. Don’t skip ahead of other players without their permission.
-
Only throw when it is safe to do so. A 1% chance of hitting someone is too much. If a disc is accidentally headed towards someone yell “fore”!
-
Don’t damage or remove trees or branches (to do so is a penalty)
-
Pack in, Pack out (don’t litter)
-
Return lost discs (always put your name and phone number on your discs
