Etiquette is a mixture of common sense, courtesy and means showing consideration to other golfers and the course.
As a beginner, you can expect to make mistakes – that’s how we learn! An example of good etiquette as a beginner golfer would be, letting the group in front of you be out of sight and no longer in range to be hit by a shot before taking your shot.
Remember that other beginners will make mistakes too – so treat them with the same understanding you would hope to receive yourself.
REMEMBER - There are many rules of the game but the basic principle is simple: play the ball as it lies and play the course as you find it.
