Hole1: Too many attempts

A caddie said, "Some guests will never open the club until they try to swing it four or five times." And a golfer complained, "After a certain gentleman seriously tried to swing five times, he finally stood in front of the ball with bated breath, I thought he was going to play, but he tried to swing in front of the ball five times. So back and forth, we were all completely defeated by his try to swing, and we wanted to cry without tears." It is a good habit to try to swing before playing, but if you try to swing too many times before kick-off, you should pay attention to it and take care of the psychological feelings of the players around you. If a group of people play, each person will swing a few more times, four people will be more than a dozen times, one hole will be delayed for 4 minutes, and 18 holes will be delayed for more than an hour. Trying to swing too much may be the crux of your slow play.

Hole2: Late

It is a small matter to be late, but it is harmful to others but not to oneself. According to the rules of golf, in a regular tournament, the penalty for being late is disqualification or a two-stroke penalty. In the daily leisure playing activities, being late is firstly disrespectful to the players, because it wastes the precious time of the players; secondly, it may also disturb the normal starting order of the stadium and bring trouble to the stadium management. If you run into a court with strict management of departure time, your game may even be "ruined"; moreover, you don't have time to warm up, and you can easily cause muscle strain if you swing in a hurry. If you hurt your back, I'm afraid there will be sequelae. It is recommended that you arrive at the stadium departure desk at least 15 minutes in advance. Warm up and kick off with ease.

Hole3: Long time to find the ball

The rules stipulate that the time to find the ball should not exceed 5 minutes, otherwise it will be regarded as missing the ball, and one penalty will be added and the ball will be returned to the same place before playing the third shot. Therefore, "gentleman" players usually say hello to the same group of players in advance and make a tentative ball when they are worried that they cannot find the ball that deviates from the direction, so as not to waste more time going back to play again when they cannot find it. However, in real life, many players ignore the ball once they gamble. A ball is worth a lot of money. How can they take care of the red tape such as delaying other people's time or even pressing the team? They will never give up until they see the ball.

Hole4: Influence others when they hit the ball

Thinking about others is the "constitution" in the rules of golf. Its most basic performance is to keep quiet when others play, don't talk or walk around, so as not to affect others' shot. When amateur players play, few people deliberately remind players to keep quiet, but this does not mean that everyone ignores this basic rule. In fact, every player knows that when a player is hitting the ball, even an unintentional cough around him will seriously affect his mood. Therefore, even if it is inadvertently interfering with others to hit the ball, it is best to sincerely say sorry.

Hole5: Step on someone else's line on the green

Most of the players who do this are not long in contact with the golf ball and do not know the basic rules and etiquette. However, reckless behavior due to ignorance of the rules, such as interfering with other people's playing ball, stepping on other people's pushing routes, and not following the rules of playing first by the distant, will annoy people. Therefore, before or during the first game, you must ask others what rules they should pay attention to and how to do it more appropriately, so as not to offend others and keep them in the dark.

Hole6: Playing too slow

Mark? Twain had a famous saying about golf: "Golf is a spoiled walk." From this I guess Mark? Mr. Twain probably doesn't play ball or at least isn't a gentleman player. If everyone wanders around the grassy field like a spoiled walk and changes into uniform white clothes, it will be no different from a flock of sheep. You know, playing golf is also a sport, and it is quite self-disciplined. Completing 18 holes in a reasonable time is a basic rule that must be followed. When you notice that a cart marked "MARSHAL" is always behind you, you should understand that you need to speed up. If there is a tour that directly reminds you that you need to speed up, don't make any excuses. You must have exceeded everyone's tolerance limit at that time. If you are abroad, you may be expelled or sent to the driving range to "practice and reform.

Hole7: Playing too fast

Is it wrong to play fast? Think about it, when a player runs like crazy on the court, is it out of step with the elegance of the sport? It's like visiting a friend's house. Being late is not welcome, but it's equally disgusting to knock on the guest's door an hour in advance.

Hole8: Anger at Caddy

Players who don't respect their caddies are really bad. No matter how important a person he is in life, he will be laughed at for it. Of course, most of the time he is laughed at in private. I met such a friend who was even blacklisted by caddies. If a caddie was assigned to serve him, the caddie would rather take sick leave than play. What's the reason? It's that the guest didn't seem to be here to play ball, but to come to the stadium to find an outlet, but he mistook the caddy for the target of his anger. Every time you play a smelly ball, you can always find out the responsibility of the caddie. It seems that it is the caddie who plays the ball instead of him. It is really incredible.

Hole9: Don't know how to take care of caddy

"The caddie is here to take care of me. Do you still need me to take care of her?"-of course I do! Everyone should understand, and your understanding is the best care for caddies. A few more words of praise, a few more words of comfort, slow down while driving, and don't forget that there are living people behind the cart besides the clubs that won't pant. When she breathlessly brings you clubs from the next fairway, don't forget to say thank you, your understanding will be rewarded several times more, and even the young girl will thank you for your whole life because of a word of relief.

Hole10: throw rod, foul language

The reason why the fall pole and the explosive swearing are combined into one is that the two always appear on the same person like a shadow. The mood of falling the pole because the ball is not good is understandable, and if the posture is beautiful, it looks quite handsome. Look at other people's top celebrities, which one hasn't fallen. It is said beforeUnited StatesOpen champion Tommy Bolt is a notoriously violent man. He not only threw the club, but also threw it. He didn't pick it up after throwing it. He even summed up an experience to share with other "throwing friends", that is, "If you want to throw the club, you 'd better throw it forward, so you don't have to spend energy to go back and pick it up." The "throw expert" went to heaven at the age of 92 in early September last year. I wonder if there are any clubs in heaven for him to throw and vent. It is not uncommon for the stadium facilities to be destroyed and claimed because of the fall of the pole. It is not uncommon for the relationship between friends to be destroyed because of the "dirty" words. It is not worth the loss.

Hole11: Cheating on the pitch

Cheating when playing is essentially a matter of integrity, no different from stealing. Because it stole their own number of poles, stole the honor of others. Profit from cheating is the easiest way, but it is also the riskiest way. Just like the "Sanlu" milk powder incident, the product quality problem is on the one hand, you may not intend to do it, as long as you sincerely repent, there is still a chance to start a new life, but conceal the truth or even intentionally do it, and eventually there is only one way to go bankrupt. A person because of playing cheating and credit bankruptcy, value? Think about it! Once the East Window incident, how to face such an embarrassing situation? Just like a thief was caught in broad daylight.

Hole12: Good Teacher

Is it also wrong to help others point out technical or tactical problems when playing? For the players who are being pointed out, it is certainly grateful to be reminded occasionally by their friends, but if the entire 18 holes are interfered with again and again by the people around them, and they are passively educated again and again, they will definitely lose their sense of rhythm and self-confidence when playing, and the end result is likely to become that they will not even play the ball. Moreover, who can prove that you must be well-intentioned to be a good teacher? It is no longer a secret in real life to disturb other people's mentality by this means during the competition.

Hole13: There are more than 14 clubs in the bag.

When amateur players play ball at ordinary times, they generally do not pay attention to how many sticks are put in their opponent's bag, so there are few cases of penalty strokes due to excessive number of clubs. But once the other side knows that you have more than 14 clubs, the mood will naturally not be happy, because such a game is obviously unfair, you are suspected of fraud, and there may even be disputes if you gamble. It is clearly stipulated in the golf rules that if there are more than 14 clubs in the competition, they will be punished by penalty or even cancellation of the competition results.

Hole14: throwing cigarette butts

It is also very common for domestic players to throw cigarette butts when playing. One of the results is that the beautiful environment of the stadium is destroyed, and the caddy has since added another job of picking up cigarette butts. As a result, the caddy's backpack has one more function: four pockets, two of which are used to hold cigarette butts. What is more serious is that unextinguished cigarette butts can also cause fires, especially in dry autumn and winter, when dry leaves are easily ignited. In real life, there are also small fires caused by cigarette butts.

Hole15: Don't wear according to regulations and don't listen to dissuasion.

There are also numerous examples of being rejected for wearing jeans or non-golf shoes. Some people will say that they are not here to play ball, just to accompany them, but walking on the court in clothes that do not match the surrounding atmosphere has violated the basic etiquette of golf. The reason why golf is called a gentleman's sport is that it has all kinds of "rules" that seem cumbersome but actually respect the sport itself ". What's more, when the stadium staff persuaded them, the guests lost their temper and thought they had no face. In fact, it is not shameful to make a mistake, and it is shameful not to admit a mistake.

Hole16: Do not repair marks

It's nice to see a neat piece of turf go out with the ball as soon as it takes off or to see a small white ball land steadily on the green, but don't forget to repair the strike. Just as you yourself feel annoyed when you are troubled by the marks left by the previous guests. Do not do to others what you would not like to do to yourself-please repair the marks.

Hole17: Scare of small animals

Once there was a member of the stadium, because he "met" a turtle at the water's edge while playing, he happily dropped the unfinished dozen holes and went home with the turtle in his arms. There are also some players who see cute little animals such as wild ducks and rabbits on the fairway and will play with their hearts and turn to them as living targets. But have you realized that these cute little animals also have aura. If you bully them, they will not treat you so cute in the future. The harm to animals is actually the harm to the ball club, not to mention that small animals do not even have the ability to complain, so do not deceive "things" too much.

Hole18: Play another one

Many players have the habit of playing another game when they can't play well. They think that they are more conscious of telling them to play again. This is just for fun, not a result. However, have you ever thought that this is also unfair competition. First of all, not to mention the rules, do you realize that you have more chances of trial and error than your golfer, and naturally you have more chances of success? So, even if the score of that ball you hit doesn't count, you 've already violated the principle of fair play first. Furthermore, is it also disrespectful to others to make others pay the waiting time they shouldn't have? So, the game is no joke, once the first ball is out, it means the beginning of a game, can not be arbitrarily destroyed fair play game. Also don't underestimate each other's performance in the game, "the ball is like character", this is by no means alarmist.
