Tee Box:

Rough:
If you happen to play into the rough, and your ball is hidden, you should immediately direct the players behind you to play through. It prevents the frustration and annoyance of the players behind you. Remember don’t get too upset at arriving in the rough as even the golf pros. get into the rough and some times loose their ball.Think on this by directing the players behind you through, it then gives you more time to search for your ball.

Bunkers:

Card Marking:
When marking your card or which it will be your partner’s card you will be marking, don’t stand on the green to do so, wait until you are waiting to take your next tee shot. Also when especially at having completed the 18th and final hole, shake hands with your partners, but don’t check or mark your card until you are well clear of the 18th hole.

Players behind You:
