Golf has sometimes been referred to by some pessimistic players as “a good walk spoiled.” It would seem that these individuals are missing a key point about the splendid game of golf. It is a fun pastime and should be played for that reason alone. Along with the advantages of getting out in the fresh air, you have the added bonus of playing with friends, associates, customers and even making more new contacts. Put the cell phone away in your bag for the round. You deserve a break, now don’t you?

Try to arrive at least a half an hour before your tee time so you can check in with the pro shop, use the washroom, do some light stretching, putt around and unwind a little before you head to the first tee. Please don’t bring your own supply of brown pops. At some courses, it is also against the local liquor laws, so you are putting the nice folks at the club in a very uncomfortable position. They want you to enjoy yourself so don’t make them become the golf course police. They’re just doing their job.

You may want to ask about the course’s dress code since many courses do not approve of clothing like blue jeans, tattered shorts and t-shirts. And don’t forget to check out the club’s pro shop and do a quick check of your individual golfing accessories in your golf bag. Tees, golf balls, sunscreen, and maybe you need a new golf glove. Check the spikes on your golf shoes, as well. No one is using steel spikes much anymore. On most golf courses today, they are no longer approved for play.

And when your round is finished, please stay and enjoy your playing partners’ company and take advantage of the many fine food and beverage options available at the clubhouse.

After all, the best shots in golf are usually taken at the 19th hole.
