Taking up a new pastime here...
 

try to use a little common sense when doing so. All sports, card games, clubs have etiquette rules and most people know this and respect the rules, behavior and do's and don'ts. Golf is no different. Here some simple things to know:

1)do not pull ahead of the tee markers being used.
2)do not, unless asked, stand behind the person hitting(it's impolite unless requested to do so because the person teeing off can't see very well).
3)"mulligan"...not a real golf term and not in the Rules of Golf by the USGA. if you must hit a mulligan make sure no one is behind you waiting for you to tee off. also if you are picky about putting out know that when hitting that second tee shot you're hitting your 3rd shot.
4)stick with a score of double par(no more than 6 strokes/par 3 or 8 strokes/par 4).
5)park your cart even with the middle of the green. never leave your cart where when you finish you have to walk back towards the previous tee.
6)be ready to play...we play "ready" golf. even if you're closer to the hole you can hit your shot as long as it doesn't endanger others. giving everyone a turn to hit after the tee shot is not being nice....it's being ignorant of the etiquette .
7)playing music from your cart that others can hear is being inconsiderate.
8)those of you who disagree with me know not of what you speak. I'll bet you there is a hobby, sport, pastime you partake in that has rules and etiquette. try to understand we who play golf(not play "at" golf)would always respect your pastimes rules and etiquette ...please give us the same consideration.

I suspect someone had a bad round today.

Definition of insanity - Refusing to accept the reality that golfing etiquette expected at high end Championship golf courses will never be the norm at The Villages Executive courses. The best way for one to truly enjoy the Executives is to go with the flow and accept the fact that they are what they are, amateur hour at its best.

Yes, I do know of what I speak.

If you'd like to park your Cart PROPERLY, you do it BEHIND the Green being played and there are a raft of reasons why. For example, you likely won't have to walk around a Bunker to get to it (& slowing down the players in back of you). Secondly, you'll have yourself in your carts and out of the way of the players behind you, much faster.

Lest you still doubt if I know what I'm talking about, perhaps you should re-acquaint yourself with: https://www.golfthevillages.com/golf...dgolfguide.pdf or check here: Golf Cart Etiquette | Golfweek

It's all in there and you're wrong.

rules , we dont need no stinking rules.......

So true, I fall into that insanity myself sometimes as I never played executive courses before TV only played Championship.

You can’t even get people to fix their ball marks never mind all the other etiquette.

I don't golf and know nothing about it but, THIS is one of the best posts I've read.
Now, lets wait for those entitled players with huge egos and no consideration for others to start hating.

Yep, that’s how I get at the range when someone walks in front of the bench when the range is Hot!

Well, Yeah, I know all of that. But how many Strikes do I get per hole? If I'm offsides do I have to take a drop and a yardage penalty or do I just hit another ball? When am I allowed to use the bridge on the green. When I hit into the group ahead of me am I supposed to yell 'FOUR' or is it 'FORE" ???

If TV gave us 12 minutes between start times instead of 8, that would help. Don't ya think?

You forgot to mention an important rule where: those that smelt it most likely dealt it

Then Golf rounds in The Villages would take 5 hours and The Villages would have 33% FEWER Tee Times available.

GREAT solution!

I always play with earbuds listening to music helps relax me and play better.

The OP is not talking about USGA rules. He’s talking about simply being considerate of other people.
Another one is when you’re finished with your round don’t stand next to the green adding up your score, putting your tees and balls away or doing who knows what. Move your cart away from the green so that those behind you can play.
It’s really pretty simple. Play without delay, leave the course in better condition than you found it and don’t disturb others when they are playing.
Again, these are not rules, they simply courtesy.
