VVisiting a new course is a journey that begins long before you stand on the first tee. The way you arrive shapes your day: quiet, attentive steps through the clubhouse, a smile for every greeting, and a moment to breathe in the landscape. This is not only about etiquette but about tuning yourself to the rhythm of the course and its community.
Arrival Rituals
- Arrive early to check in, greet staff warmly, and absorb the club’s atmosphere.
- Observe local customs: note dress code, signage, and pace; show respect for members’ routines.
- Start at the practice area; a few gentle swings and putts to tune into the course.
Carry Yourself with Courtesy
- Introduce yourself to playing partners and show genuine interest in their day.
- Keep voices low near tees and greens; let the landscape speak.
- Offer to rake bunkers or replace divots beyond your own ball; be a good steward.
Every first tee handshake sets the tone for the round; make yours a gesture of respect.
Your arrival is a handshake to the course itself. By practicing attentiveness and kindness from the moment you set foot on the property, you cultivate a day that feels harmonious. Slow down, listen to the breeze through the trees, and let each interaction—whether with a caddie, a fellow golfer, or the starter—remind you that you are part of a shared story on this fairway.isiting a new course is a journey that begins long before you stand on the first tee.
