Strategy How Will You Start YOUR #Golf Season?|Golf for Beginners

The golf season is already in full swing down in the southern and western states (East and West Coast Swing) but for many golfers who are just dusting off their clubs, the hard and fast rules have not yet settled in.

Have no worry!

If you are not playing in competition and are out for a friendly round with a few of your mates, set the rules right from the beginning of the round.

Here are some helpful golf pointers to get you began:

- If the golf course is very muddy (and they usually are this time of year), make sure you emphasize the ever important, "Lift, Clean and Place" Rule. Although the PGA of America did not consider using this rule during the U.S. Open, it sure can help during a sloppy round on your home course!

According to Golf Digest, it's not a good concept to apply your new Titleist Pro V1's either as your swing is not but in the groove and those pearly whites (or yellows) will probable find their manner into a person else's bag. Better to stay with leftovers for now.

- Since you are not Tiger Woods andif you are not in competition and only out for a bit of fun, if your ball lands safely on the fairway but lands in a divot, MOVE YOUR BALL OUT OF THE DIVOT! Make sure you alert your playing partners beforehand but... why should you be penalized on the fairway because a previous golfer did not replace the turf?

- Read up on Etiquette and respecting any other golfer's area and line. Be well mannered on your fellow gamers. Did that "nine out of ten greenskeepers accept as true with that gamers should pass an etiquette take a look at before playing golfing?"
