Bet On It: Rules Of Proper Etiquette For Spectators To Follow When At A Golf Tournament

Never been to a golf tournament, but planning to attend the Honda Classic this weekend at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida? 

Here is a rundown of golf etiquette rules, you better bet on following on the course:

Quiet Please ..

You try hitting a golf ball surrounded by thousands of spectators watching every move you make? Exactly! Please remain quiet while a player is hitting a shot.

⛳ Look The Part 

Wear your favorite golf attire (shirt, shorts, polos, khakis, etc) to the tournament. Just leave the denim, tank tops and short-shorts at home. A comfortable pair of shoes is also strongly recommend. (You might also want to grab a hat, shades and some sun lotion.)

Drop Your Phone

Talking on your phone on the golf course is not permitted. Your phone should be turned off or set to vibrate. As you probably know, but just an added reminder, you wouldn't be able to ask Sepp Straka about his plans for the evening. Communication between spectators and players is prohibited.

⛳ Don't Ask For Autographs 

Avoid asking for your favorite golf player's autograph. Unless, your favorite golf player hasn't reached the practice area of the golf course or has already signed their scorecard and left the scorer's area. 

Watch Where You Stand 

A lot of times the gallery at a golf tournament is large and crowded. So, it's a good idea to be mindful of the spectators behind you. You might also want to keep your umbrella out of the way. If you bring one to the golf tournament. ⛳ ⛳ ⛳ ⛳
