Never “push” the group that is ahead of you in the links. This is consider behavior that is boorish and not in the spirit of the game. You must wait your turn, no matter how badly you want to smack the ball.
You should never “push” the group that is ahead of you in the links. This is considered boorish behavior and not in the grand spirit of the game. You must wait your turn, no matter how badly you want to hit that ball!
A good way to spend waiting time is to find your ball and figure out the club you will need for the next shot. That way, you will be following the rules while hopefully gaining an advantage for yourself by hitting the next shot better than the ones you are playing with. This is called “ready golf.”

Replace your divots. When, in the fairway, you hit the ball and a clod of dirt and grass goes flying, replace it. On some courses you just put the clod back and step on it to press it on; on most courses, there is a sand/seed mixture on your card to put into the divot. If your ball makes a deep impression when it lands on the green, use your divot tool to repair it.
As soon as you have completed a hole, replace the flag and leave the green so that the next players can play. Count your score and write it on the scorecard when you’re back at your cart.
There are many rules to golf, and this has been an introductory glance at the rules, at best. However, these simple rules will allow you to play, enjoy, and follow the basic rules of game etiquette.
