Mr. Golf Etiquette's Golf Etiquette Primer

By Jim Corbett
(Copyright 1999)

Golf etiquette is one of the most important parts of the game of golf. The golf etiquette (or the lack of it) that you display on the course will say more about you as a golfer and a person that anything you ever do with your clubs.

The love of the game, the understanding of the traditions and the respect for those with whom you play, all come together in the golf etiquette you exhibit on the course.

In the Golf Etiquette Primer, Mr. Golf Etiquette will present and discuss the basic elements of good golf etiquette for golfers to review. Hopefully, this section of the web site will be seen as a simple introduction to the concepts of golf etiquette for the new golfer and a good review for the experienced golfer.

The Golf Etiquette Primer will be continually enhanced over time. Readers of the Mr. Golf Etiquette web site are encouraged to contribute their thoughts on the practice of good golf etiquette and even to send in their stories that help to articulate or clarify any of the concepts presented herein. Mr. Golf Etiquette will be happy to post your stories and make this section something from which we can all learn and grow.
