Learn proper Phone etiquette?…Should I call her?.?
A friend of mine is leaving for the Navy and I thought it was a a good idead that we get together one more time before she goes. She and I were going to go play golf-put put golf Sat. but she called at the last minute to take a rain check. She said she didn’t feel well, took some shot she had to take so she’s a little sick. Well, she told me if Mon instead was good, and so she told me to call her than. Well, I did -it was around 3:00 PM, right now it’s 7:00PM-I have yet to receive her call. So I call her again?..I only have tomorrow-but not to hang out, just ot visit-I have to work. Or should I call her tomorrow?..Thanks.
I think it would be nice for you to call her back just to say good-bye. But you’re not obligated to get together with her. You tried , but she didn’t return your call. But it would be nice to end on a happy note. Wish her the best, and maybe you can e-mail each other. Good karma. 
In Law etiquette….?
I am attending a wedding in a town three hours away from our house for my cousin in-law. We will be there for about six hours before the wedding even starts. My husband’s side of the family separates into men/women when they all get together. The women usually go out and get their nails done etc… while the men go and play golf. I’d MUCH rather go hit a bucket of balls with the guys than gossip with the ladies about church groups that I don’t even attend. I’ve only been part of the family for a year now so do I pretend to be interested in all the "girly gossip" or just show my true colors now? I have many family gatherings ahead of me. I don’t know how long I can pretend to care about caddy church gossip.
I’d go golfing.
Golf Apparel — The Start Of Good Golf Etiquette
Many of us recall old movie images of golfers in plaid pants, sweater vests, billed caps, and other stereotypical apparel of golfing lore. While clothing on golf courses has changed over the years, proper golf apparel is still expected. And the greater the prestige of the golf club, the greater the expectation you will abide by their dress code.
Most clubs and courses, even the public ones, require that golfers follow a dress code. The most common rule is the collared shirt. Many courses require long pants, not jeans, and golf shoes.
When it comes to actually starting your game, the primary rule of etiquette is to show up on schedule for your tee time. That means you will have already done everything else in preparation for the start of the golf game. You’ll need time to park your car, warm up, practice, buy balls, change, and pick up a cart. Being early is a matter of consideration for others.
Leave Cell Phones In The Real World
The exclusion of cell phones from golf apparel is another common courtesy on the links. Cell phones should be left in your car or locker. If you do need to bring 1 onto the course for emergencies, keep it turned off.
When you’re on the course, you’ll need to understand how the other golfers in your group want to play. Some let the best score tee off on the next hole, while others let whoever is ready tee off first. You can offend players by not following their rules, even if their rules are, from your perspective, wrong.
Time-Honored Conventions Make Golfing Unique
An obsession with quiet is another characteristic for which golfers are known. Like most traditions, this one is based on necessity. When your object is to hit a small object with a long pole, you need all of your concentration. Even when golfing with friends, respect the fundamental rule of keeping quiet during shots, and standing out of the direct line of vision.
Today’s golfing rules of etiquette can seem archaic — a throwback to days of old. They harken back to a slower paced time when consideration for others was perhaps easier. In the 21st century, golfing provides us a time away from the bustle of everyday living. Though golf is highly competitive, it is, nonetheless, a gentleman’s — and gentlewoman’s — game.
5 Minutes Early Is Late

Since when did it become acceptable to spit on the putting green?
I have noticed a lot more golfers spitting on the course these past few years, even at Augusta! The recent US Open was even worse.
First, I think it is disgusting and unprofessional for PGA tour pros to do that. Worst of all, why do some players spit on the putting green? Is spitting now an acceptable part of golf etiquette among pros?
I also see players damaging the tee box and putting green after bad shots. There should be a stroke penalty for that. If you must hack up something after a bad shot, hack at the deep rough. I have never seen Nicklaus and Watson behave like that and it’s shocking to see so many talented young guys on tour be so unprofessional
It’s not, and you’re right- it’s absolutely disgusting, inconsiderate and shows a complete lack of etiquette.
For all those spitters- how would you feel if your perfect approach shot hit the green, but landed in snot-infused hack juice? Sure, you get to mark, lift and clean, but do you REALLY want to put your hands on that? It’s the same as if the ball landed in goose or coyote poop. Whether you’re a germaphobe or not- yuck. What if your ball marker had to sit on that junk? Blah.
The sh!tty thing is that most amateurs emulate the pros… even the stupid things they do. Be your own golfer- not the next Tiger, or Nicklaus, or Van de Velde, or whoever- and be considerate of your fellow weekend warriors.
What are the odds on that?
Two men are trying to play a round of golf when they catch up with two women. They watch with mounting frustration as the women manage to hit every water hazard, bunker and piece of rough – without waving them through, as golf etiquette requires.
After two tedious hours of waiting, one of the men decides enough is enough and walks over to ask them if he can play through.
He strides up the fairway, but halfway up stops suddenly and quickly returns.
I can`t do it, he says to his playing partner. One of those women is my wife, and the other is my mistress!
Maybe it`d be better if you went to talk to them.
The second man agrees, but halfway there he stops and returns, just like his colleague had done.
What`s up? asked the first man.
I tell you what, says the second man, smiling sheepishly.
It`s a small world, isn`t it?
ha ha ha
laughed my sox off at that one!!
Thanks for cheering me up!!

Do you Have Good Golf Etiquette?
Few other sports depend so greatly on the integrity and good temperament of the players than golf. Unlike other sports, golf does not depend on the supervision of referees or umpires. Players are expected to both understand the rules and etiquette of the game. Golf is a game that relies not only on skill and talent, but also on proper conduct and sportsmanship. Good etiquette on the green will ensure maximum enjoyment of the game for all players.
Golf is gentleman’s and gentlewoman’s sport. Players should take the time to study the rules of the game. The rules serve to improve the game by sustaining the pace of play, maintaining the quality of the golf course, and ensuring the safety of the players. The spirit of the game depends on players demonstrating discipline and sportsmanship at all times regardless of how competitive they are. If you are new to the game, or just need to refresh your golf etiquette, here are some basic considerations that will help keep the game enjoyable for you and those around you.
Golfers must always play without delay, in order to maintain the pace of the game. The pace of the game requires players to ready to hit the ball when their turn arrives. The order of play is always the farthest from the whole first. Players should carry two uniquely marked balls. In order to reduce the time for taking a shot, players should study the shot while the other players are preparing to hit. A player should always hit the shot within 45 seconds of the previous player’s stroke. Golfers should never crowd the previous group or lag behind.
On the green, golfers must fix their ball marks with care. They should not leave bare ground or smooth surface where the ball mark was. Golfers should never dig under a ball mark or leverage the soil upward. Players should always remove the peg from the tee after hitting. It is a breach of etiquette to leave a tee or push the tee into the ground. On the bunkers, players should leave the bunker as they found it. A few strokes of the rake will smooth the sand and remove any trace of footprints. The golden rule is to leave the golf course as the player found it and avoid excessive damage.
Although golf is not a contact sport, players must avoid injuring themselves or fellow golfers. One player is permitted on the tee at a time. Players should never stand behind a golfer on the tee or anywhere on the course. Players should always be mindful of the group in front of them. If a golfer is hitting is the direction of other players, the golfer should shout the traditional warning of “fore”.
golf etiquette is an essential part of the game. Consideration of other golfers is absolutely required. Players must be still and silent while other players are hitting. Disturbing or distracting another player is simply unacceptable and contradictory to the spirit of the game. Everyone wants to score and play well on the golf course, but good golf also depends on having a good attitude and being extremely considerate.

Can you cancel your tee time the day of?
I’m trying to surprise my fiance for his birthday by getting him a gift card to a very nice golf course. He is taking the day off work and says he’s just going to sleep in and catch up on projects around the house.
I want to go ahead and book a tee time, for the late afternoon, for his actual birthday since this course fills up quick but what if (and this is unlikely) he can’t play golf that day….will it be a problem for him to call and cancel the tee time, I mean is that frowned upon?!
They offer discounts for after 3pm, so I don’t know that it would be a problem but than again, I’m not in-tuned at all with golfing etiquette.
It depends on the course. Call them and explain the situation and they will probably be able to work with you.
Also, most courses do not book tee times for single players, so you might need to work with them anyway in order to fit him in with an existing group.

funny or not?
Two men are having an awfully slow round of golf because the two ladies in front of them managed to get into every sand trap, lake, and rough on the course, and they didn’t bother to wave the men on through, which is proper golf etiquette.
After two hours of waiting and waiting, one man said, "I think I’ll walk up there and ask those gals to let us play through." He walked out to the fairway, got halfway to the ladies, stopped, turned around and came back, explaining, "I can’t do it. One of those women is my wife and the other is my mistress. Maybe you’d better go talk to them."
The second man walked toward the ladies, go halfway there and, just as his partner had done, stopped, turned around and walked back.
He smiled sheepishly and said, "Small World!"
hahahahaha.that’s really funny.nice joke.10/10
