Golf Course Etiquette 101
Share
There’s more to a great round of golf than just hitting fairways and draining putts. How you carry yourself on the course matters. Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned weekend warrior, practicing proper golf etiquette helps everyone enjoy the round—and keeps the spirit of the game alive.
At Enjoy the Vu, we believe respect for the game starts with how you play, how you treat others, and how you present yourself. Here are our favorite tips to make sure your next tee time is a smooth, stylish success
1. Be Ready to Play
Golf is a gentleman’s (and gentlewoman’s) game, but that doesn’t mean slow play gets a free pass. Respect everyone’s time by:
Being ready when it’s your turn.
Keeping pre-shot routines efficient.
Moving promptly between shots and holes.
Style tip: Our UPF 50+ long sleeve golf polos are designed for all-day comfort and performance, so you’ll stay cool, protected, and focused on pace—not your outfit.
2. Respect the Course
Golf courses are like sacred ground. Treat them like it by:
Replacing divots and repairing ball marks.
Raking bunkers after use.
Keeping carts on the path where required.
The way you care for the course says a lot about your character as a player.
3. Mind Your Manners
Golf is one of the few sports where honor and courtesy are part of the rulebook. Remember to:
Stay quiet during other players' shots.
Offer a “good shot” or a quick fist bump—good sportsmanship never goes out of style.
Avoid loud conversations, phone calls, or music unless your group’s all in.
4. Dress the Part
Looking sharp is part of playing sharp. Every course has different dress codes, but here’s a good baseline:
Collared golf shirt (check).
Shorts or pants in good condition (double check).
And for the sun-smart golfer? A long sleeve, UPF-rated golf polo from Enjoy the Vu.
Our gear is designed not just to meet the code, but to elevate it. Bonus: with built-in sun protection, you’re safeguarding your health while looking the part.
5. Be Cool Under Pressure
Not every shot will go your way—but how you react matters. Throwing clubs or blaming playing partners? Big no. Instead:
Take a deep breath.
Keep your cool.
Learn from the shot and move on.
Golf’s not just a test of skill—it’s a test of temperament. The most memorable players are the ones with grace under pressure.
