Hey Aloyboy,

First of all, to think that you need to go thru this is totally ridiculous.

Secondly, you been playing in NSRCC rite...so what the deal with needing to go thru this rd?

Dunno why must have this, and dunno when ill be able to do this.

Does one need to have a driving licence to prove you can drive?

Congratulations on getting the etiquette right in your courtesy round aloyboy.

The courtesy round is just that, about courtesy on the course. No one says you must say please or thank you, just as it's not part of the rules to apply courtesy on the course, BUT, it should and must apply since a new golfer like yourself is probably not aware of the following courtesies on course conduct.


Wait till the flight in front is clear before you tee off

To shout 'fore' or 'ball' as a warning loud enough for the golfers in front to hear should your ball head dangerously in someone's direction.

Keep up with the flight in front so as not too delay the flights behind you.

Allow flights from behind playing faster than you to play through should you be holding them up for more than five minutes for any reason.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Rake the bunkers, repair ballmarks, replace divots, standing behind players, keeping silent and still while another is about to hit, being ready to hit the moment it's your turn, not stepping on another's line, dragging feet on the green.....

Need I go on tohkh? How many of the few I've just mentioned are you aware of?

Treat your courtesy round with as much respect as you expect from others, the courtesy round is an important one that teaches you only the very basics so you will respect other golfers as much as you would expect them to respect you.

More importantly, it teaches you to respect and care for the course which in turn will reward you with course conditions you would love to return and play on.

Too many have forgotten that golf is a gentleman's game.

Have I answered your question tohkh?

Yes I know all of them and I've always done all of them on the course! =)
There's also things like declaring ball which is used to prevent hitting wrong balls, and other general things such as helping other golfers including those not in yr flight etc etc.....
thanks for your reply! it's great to hear from other experienced members!

haha..... im not against the courtesy round, just that it's sometimes a hassle to arrange for it. =/

Haha... bro, you disappear off the face of the earth for so long, then suddenly hatch from dunno which egg and spout instigating words like that... how can?

When you hatch, first thing you must say is 'Mummy' or 'Daddy' right?
