Not talking or moving while a person is getting ready to hit and not walking on your putting line on the green in golf is just basic common courtesy, much like covering your mouth when you sneeze. Using excuse's like course conditions or ready play is just that, an inconsiderate excuse.

that either you don't play golf, never played it seriously or any other past time that required etiquette. You still did not explain your post so I take it that it's meant to be funny...there's a possibility that skating on the wrong side of the ice may suit your needs.

but courtesy and etiquette are not up for discussion in your post. I've yet to play with a group that doesn't think a "mulligan" is part of the rules...raking bunkers, sanding divots or fixing ball marks are all optional.

I don't say a word about bunkers, divots and pitch marks....I just fix them for them. As to "mulligans" once they've hit their third on one hole I pick up their tee...if that bothers them I point in the direction of the driving range where they can continue to duff without making people wait.

One additional comment when the courses are busy and you all get done putting go directly to your cart and keep the putter with you in the cart until your reach the next tee box. Then switch the putter out for whatever club you are going to use when teeing off. Simply rule but will speed up play !

10 feet behind you is a problem? You have your radar turned up to high. If I was 10 feet behind and still and you told me to move, I would go back to my cart and I hope you can always find your ball because I will never help.

Lets just say SOME people have good peripheral Vision...
If you can't see the ball flight from the side of the tee box then I don't need your help, stay in your cart the air would be much fresher for me.....

Peripheral vision or no, it is much easier to follow ball flight from behind the shot.

If you don’t want/need any help, that’s cool too.

it is not about YOU! It's about who is playing the shot and unless you're specifically asked to watch the ball then you should stand where the person hitting the shot either can't see you, or you're 90 degrees from their ball flight.

Just because you might need someone to watch your ball flight doesn't mean you should assume everyone does. I don't need help...yet...so stay off to the side unless asked....common sense.

All it take is to some what constantly hit the ball down the middle, no watchers from any angle is needed, they can all sit in their golf cart if they like......

I can follow the ball just fine from my follow through stance..

As to always hitting it down the middle you either don't play or you usually top the ball...

[BryanTheGolfPro]

Yep. Stand so as not to be a distraction while others are hitting. Face-on or behind is fine (no shadows); down-the-line is NOT fine.
