How to be a good flight mate

While I am trying to be a better golfer....I will also want to balance that with being a good flight mate. Some of the things I am doing though not all the time are:

1. When flight mate tee-off, look out for where ball land..to calm any anxiety fm flight mate

2. I often laugh at myself for playing 'ping pong' on the green

3. Drive buggy to flight mate after my turn to hit

4. Lastly, keep my mouth shut if he/she did not ask for tips or keen to know my view


anything else?

hmm...no talking aloud when flight mate is putting.

i fully agree with 4. keep my mouth shut if he/she did not ask for tips or keen to know my view

i would feel it should be the right way to keep quiet not to comments flightmate during the game.

Help take pics of fren (silently) if he brought a camera along!

Surely he would like to see a couple snaps of him in action.

And good if you can make your flight mate happy by bringing along a couple of chilled beers.

And some extra used balls for frens who like to hit into the water but with egos dictating them to carry only 3 new balls in their bags...

I guess you can also help your flight mate to fill their divot or repair pitch mark on green or remind them nicely to do it....

this is a good flightmate

help rake the sand bunker loh..

Most excellent mate.

help mate find balls..5 mins are just not enough for a pair of eyes alone

Lighten the mood... Even if your flightmate or you are having a bad game... Continue smiling and have some jokes!!!

damn right bro. the only thing better than a round with laughs among friends is a low-scoring round with laughs among friends. Even if the scores are crap, the game would still be enjoyable.

Yea! I always laugh at my friends when the hit a bad shot.

Call out " nice shot " if your mate did hit a good one ... "nice roll" if your mate did a nice putting (although it did not go into the hole. ... if he or she hit a bad shot, said " Wow, I am sorry "

I like Eiji's video... that would be an ideal flight mate...

Ask him if he want special...

My favourite flightmate...GB.

His trashtalk is second to none.

These are the few i did so far : some are just meant to lighten mood

if my flight mate hit a good shot, i shout "good shot"
if she hit and the ball rolls, i shout "good put"
if she hit and the ball din fly far enough, i shout "good chip"
pick up iron/wedge for her that she left it on green after her putting
walk afew holes with flight mate, help to hold umbrella...

A patient and helpful golfer too.
