title: Golf Etiquette Tips and Advice for Beginners | Beginner Golf Etiquette
description: The Beginner Golf Etiquette Team is a collective of everyday golfers, course regulars, and equipment testers dedicated to helping new players feel confident and welcome on the course. We started this site because we remember what it felt like to not know whether to fix a divot, when to speak up, or how to avoid holding up the group behind us, and we didn't want other beginners to feel that same anxiety. Our Approach Every guide on this site is grounded in firsthand course experience, not just recycled rulebooks. We test the gear we recommend, play the etiquette scenarios we describe, and revisit our advice as courses, equipment, and norms evolve. Where a topic touches official Rules of Golf, we cross-reference governing bodies like the USGA and The R&A rather than relying on hearsay. Editorial Standards Articles are written and reviewed by contributors with regular, ongoing course play experience Equipment recommendations are based on hands-on use or verified specs, not manufacturer copy Content is updated periodically to reflect current etiquette norms and course practices We link to authoritative sources (USGA, PGA, The R&A) when covering official rules Why Trust Us We're not touring pros or teaching professionals, we're the beginners' advocates. Our value is translating the unwritten, often-intimidating social rules of golf into plain language for people just starting out, based on real rounds played and real mistakes learned from.
