Clarify the basics before you go
Check your tee time, meeting point, course status and any special club rules. Arriving a little early removes unnecessary pressure.
BEGINNERS · FIRST GOLF ROUND
Your first golf round: prepared, not tense.
Your first round is not about doing everything perfectly. Safety, consideration, a reasonable pace and asking about local rules when needed matter more.
Etiquette, dress rules, tee times and course conditions can vary by club. Always check the club's current information before playing.GUIDANCE
Step by step
Safety first
Only play when the area is clear, keep other players in mind and follow club guidance. Safety always comes before pace.
Stay in the flow of the group
You do not need to rush, but it helps to be ready when it is your turn. Sometimes picking up a ball is the sensible option for the group.
Questions are normal
New players cannot know every habit immediately. A quick question in the group is usually more useful than trying to memorise every convention.
WELLBEING GOLF
The right group makes a difference.
Open flights and golf buddies are designed to help people find playing partners that fit their situation and style while keeping private contact details protected.
