• Do not swing your club unless you are one hundred percent sure that no one is in your way. Too many noses have been broken by golfers who quickly take one last practice swing and do not notice the person standing behind them.

• If the course is packed, do not tarry unnecessarily. This is not the time to try a few mulligans until you like your shot. Be mindful of those who are waiting their turn at the tee.

• Do not fight the dress code. The best golf resorts in Florida are going to require a collared shirt and pants. Showing up for a game in jeans and a t-shirt forces the course Pro to decide whether or not to let you play. This leaves him in a difficult position and makes the situation much more difficult than it needs to be.

• If you want to drive recklessly, go to the Go-Kart track. Golf carts are meant for slow transportation. Pretending to run over other golfers is not recommended. The cart may look like a toy, but its weight can do some major damage.
