– There are a few rules of etiquette that apply in all situations on the golf course and the practice area and there are other rules of etiquette that are particular to certain circumstances, especially on the green. If you are trying to make a putt, or hit your tee shot into a narrow Fairway, it will be much more difficult if someone is laughing, rattling their clubs, or running around the tee or green. – Golf is a game that requires a lot of concentration. The etiquette golfers show to one another out on the course is one of the things that distinguishes golf from all other sports. – Golf etiquette is an extremely important part of the game of golf. It is through the courtesy we show to other people that we communicate our respect for them and that we show them how important we think they are. Whether you are talking about etiquette at the dinner table, in school, in your family or out at the movies with your friends, etiquette is important. Do not run in in a parking lot or ride bikes or skates.Įtiquette has to do with manners. – Be very cautious in the parking lot, there are cars, trucks, and golf carts backing up all the time and they may have a hard time seeing you. There are fast moving motorized vehicles at a golf course such as mowers and golf carts that may not see you. – Look both ways when stepping across a golf cart path, or when passing across the street in a designated cart path cross walk. Also, stay well away from others who are hitting golf balls at the driving range, you could be accidentally struck by their club on a back swing. Never step in front of the mats or grass hitting areas or you could be struck by a ball. – Never walk out onto the driving range to pick up a golf ball, even if you hit it. – Don’t swing your clubs when someone is walking around - and don’t walk around when someone is swinging golf clubs. There’s a good reason they are called “clubs.” – Don’t take practice swings toward another person (rocks and sticks and grass can fly up and hit them in the eye.) So here are some safety rules to always follow on the golf course: Without some good common sense and a notion of how hard golf balls and clubs are, a golf course can be a very dangerous place. This rule applies to young and old alike.

Wesley Jenkins won the boys second flight (55) by two shots over Kenny Okins.Ĭalhoun County girls champion Layne Dyar shot 82 and won the girls first flight. Lane had an eagle putt that stopped about four inches short and he tapped in for birdie. But Bussey, who has always been long off the tee, bombed a drive down the left side of the fairway, leaving 135 yards to the hole.įeeling jittery and hungry, he flew a pitching wedge over the flag and spun it back to 12 feet.
Lane eagled the par-5 on his first hole of the day, so he appeared to have the advantage going to the extra hole.
He already had packed up his gear, changed his shoes and was about to head home when officials summoned him to the No. “But I definitely can say I’m headed in the right direction.”Īfter finishing his round with a double bogey and a par, Bussey wasn’t completely sure he was in a playoff with Lane until tour officials assured him. “As far as the results are going, yeah, it’s been a good summer, but for my standards there are a lot of things I need to fix to be able to play like I want to be playing. “I’m working on some stuff right now in my swing to try to gain some consistency, so honestly these past three weeks I haven’t hit the ball real well, but I’ve putted and chipped really well and just scored,” Bussey said. The rising White Plains senior and Trevor Lane both shot 77 in regulation, but Bussey beat his Wildcats’ teammate with an eagle on the first playoff hole. The process hasn’t always been pretty, but you certainly can’t argue with the results.īussey won for the third week in a row on his high school coach’s Future Champions Junior Golf Tour Monday, winning in a playoff at The Lion Golf Club. – Layton Bussey has been working on his game a lot this summer.
