Bort med 5 og 6 timers runder!

5 og  6-timers runder er et faktum på mange norske baner og en del svenske hvor norske nybegynnere spiller.

Her er tips om hvordan dette kan unngås. Les disse rådene - og følg dem! Da går alt så meget bedre!

Følgende er sakset fra Swingfactory's hjemmeside.


These beginner's rules were not written to humiliate the beginning golfer, they may seem humorous but they should be taken seriously. Playing by the true rules of golf means adhering to the USGA rule book. This may be fine for accomplished golfers in tournaments, leagues or in general. The beginner, however, should throw them out the window and adopt these ten rules until they have a few rounds under their belt!

Beginner's Rules

Always Play Without Delay. Never Look For A Ball.
Keep Up With The Group Ahead Of You.

  1. Bring Lots of Balls - Old balls. Even professional golfers occasionally lose balls. As a beginner, you will lose many balls. Why use new balls? New balls cost more and carry more value, create a desire in you to search for them. If you spend time looking for your ball every time you lose one you will certainly hold up play. Because and old ball costs little and means nothing you may abandon you search immediately simply by using old or used golf balls.

  2. Never Look For Your Ball - If you hit a ball in the water, long grass, or in the woods, drop another ball as close as possible to where you believe the original ball was lost.

  3. Take Only One Practice Swing - Nothing is more time consuming than a novice taking one practice swing after another while everyone on the course waits.

  4. Always Play With Experienced Golfers - If you are going to learn the game, why not spend what little golfing time you have with someone who you can emulate and copy? Playing with other beginners in the first stage of learning may contribute to a host of problems including bad swing habits, improper behavior, poor etiquette, etc.

  5. Ask For Advice - Illegal under the guidelines of the USGA, but as as a beginner you should solicit as much information as you can from your playing partners.

  6. Play Ready Golf - The USGA rules direct players to play in order according to who has the "honor." The "honor" is awarded to the player scoring the lowest on a hole, allowing him/her to play first off of the next tee. The "honor" then goes to the person furthes from the hole after all have hit off of the tee. Beginner's rules allow you to hit when ready. The only stipulation to remember concerns the safety of the other players. Never hit a golf ball with anyone in front of you drawing a line perpendicular through your ball with the line you're intending to hit.

  7. Don't Play Out Of Bunkers - Time is the issue. Many beginners walk into a bunker and slash at the ball 10 times. They trample all over the bunker and then take 15 minutes to rake it smooth. Beginner rules allow you to rake the ball out of the bunker and chip or pitch instead of blast. Penalty - none.

  8. Don't Keep Score - You're not playing by the real rules (USGA) anyway ... why count? Instead, keep it basic. Try for an occassional par or bogey on a hole - don't worry about the whole round.

  9. Don't Play the Ball As It Lies - You'll have enough trouble if you tee it up. So give yourself and those behind you a break, play preferred lies - roll the ball into a good lie up on top of the best clump of grass you can find!

  10. Don't Use Your Driver - The driver is the least lofted club in the bag. Most beginners have trouble getting the ball airborne with the 5 iron let alone the driver. Tee off with your 3 wood if you like or with your 5 iron if you hit it better than the driver or 3 wood.


Many new golfers are intimidated or embarrassed to pursue golf because they do not have the knowledge or understanding of the proper manners required during the play of the game. These manners and customs have been passed down through the years and are known as etiquette.

Etiquette

 

  • When another player is making a stroke do not move, talk, or stand close to him or her, until after they have executed their shot.

  • Do not play until the group in front of you is out of the way.

  • Always keep play at a steady pace - leave the putting green as soon as all the players in your group have holed out.

  • When a group behind you is playing faster than you are, your first option should be to speed up your pace. Every other group on the course behind you must wait while you allow the following group to pass by you. If you do fall behind, and you can't catch up to the group ahead of you, and you have at least one open hole in front of you, only then should you allow the following group to play through.

  • Never step on the line of another player's putt.

  • Always leave extra clubs off of the putting surface. Do not drop them on the green.

  • When all players have holed out, replace the flagstick carefully, so it stands straight up out of the hole. Never leave it leaning against the edge of the cup.

  • Always treat the course as your own: replace divots, repair ball marks, smooth out bunkers, pick up trash, report damage, etc. In general, leave the course in the condition in which you'd like to find it.
