Proper Etiquette For Golf Tournaments-Part 1
The “Don’ts” Of Golf Tournament Etiquette
Probably one of the greater experiences a golf fan can have is watching a professional golf tournament. I try (not always successfully) to get to at least one professional golf competition every year.
As with any organized event, there are certain “do’s” and “don’ts” that you should observe. And this seems to be especially true for golf tournaments. In today’s post, I’m going to present some of the “don’ts”–
1. Don’t wander off inside of the ropes which are used to block off spectators. Those ropes are there for a reason. Stay outside of the ropes and let the golfers play without hindrance from the fans.
2. Don’t talk or move around while one of the players is setting up for their swing.
3. Don’t ever heckle a player.
4. Don’t get rowdy, overly intoxicated, or obnoxious on the golf course. Golf has a history of being a courteous sport, so let’s keep it that way!
5. Don’t cross the fairway unless a course marshal gives you the green light. Again, don’t impede the play of the tournament.
6. Don’t litter on the course. This includes cigarette butts.
7. Don’t take pictures when a player is obviously concentrating on his shot. You’ll find that most tournaments don’t even allow cameras.
8. Don’t be rude to other spectators by pushing them out of the way just to get a better view.

Unless you want Tiger to have you thrown out of the venue…it’s best if you stand still, shut up and whatever you do, don’t use a camera-phone to snap a photo mid swing.
