Golf in TV has rules?
Not very apparent out on the courses (executive courses). |

OP, raking sand traps, fixing ball marks and fixing divots are part of golf etiquette. Unfortunately, I see a lack of it especially on the executive courses.

Go to the range, and write down how far you hit each club. Then make a little cheet sheeet and paste it on your steering wheel of your cart. You can refer to it while you are playing until you are comforable knowing all your yardages.

In front or behind them. Two big problems are: 1. Sorry girls but you are the worst offending party when it comes to standing around having discussions Such as where do we go to lunch or who had the most serious health issue of the day or who has the smartest best looking grandkids. 2. The other big problem and perhaps the absolute worst is the Easter Egg Hunters. These folks are not happy just looking for their own ball hit out of bounds but they hold up pace on every hole looking to add to their collection Another five gallon bucket of other peoples list golf balls. The vast majority of folks out having a good time are polite and even if never informed on course etiquette, are aware of their responsibility to keep up the pace. It’s the rude idiots who stand around blabbing and hunting for balls that create huge unnecessary backups. The ambassadors will sometimes try to politely get them moving but if you ask the ambassadors they often will tell you they could loose there job or have a complaint filed against them so they end up doing little more than offering you water and saying have a nice day. |

Take a better look at the times on the score cards. Glenview & Lopez both list 2:06 for every 9 holes & that equals 4:12 (typical of all courses)! If the hole is open in front of you and the group behind is waiting for you to hit, then you are behind and should pick up the pace.

Nice shooting, John
I ALWAYS shoot in the 70's & 80's. It's too hot to play when its in the 90's and too cool when it's in the 60's.

Yes, & besides it doesn’t cost you anything for you to play, you pay amenities weather you play golf or not, so slow playing people. Look ahead at next hole, if nobody is playing it skip a hole or look behind you, if you you see people on 2 or 3 greens behind you your playing way to slow. So don’t let your ego tell you that you’re better than you think you are. Nobody will think anything bad about you if you skip a hole or let someone play thru.

How far I hit each club
I agree with what you are saying for a single digit handicapper, however, for a new golfer that could provide more frustration than you already have if you write down your best effort with a given club and use that on the golf course. I’m currently a “bogey golfer” from the senior tees (sometimes worse) and yardage by clubs makes little difference because I’m so inconsistent as I aged, especially with my iron play. Let me be clear, I totally get what your saying as you need to know that you hit a nine 120 yards when hit solid and a five wood 175 yards, etc. Yes, you should write down your yardage with each club. My suggestion to a new golfer is to hit an extra club more , i.e. 8 iron, when one out of 6 or 7 tries you hit a nine iron about 120 yards on the driving range. Most golfers (except very low handicappers) don’t use enough club and come up short. Taking more club and a more controlled swing will help you improve your game. A Pro told me this more than once and it is very good advice for most of us golfers.
