Golf has long been known as a gentleman's sport. Golf has a strange fascination of its own. It is technical. It is humbling. It is challenging. It is stylish. So, to be a successful Golfer one needs to have good knowledge of golf etiquette's and rules as there are no referees and golf requires players to be self-governing. So, if you aspire to be a professional golfer and play in prestigious golf tournaments someday, then here are some basic etiquette's you should be familiar with.

•  Play at a reasonable pace.
•  Have the player who is farthest away from the pin hit first on each shot.
•  Let the winner of the previous hole tee off first at the next tee.
•  Don't step on your fellow players putting lines -- the imaginary line that connects the ball to the hole.
•  Don't make any noise when your fellow player is preparing to putt.
•  Don't swing your club until the area around you has been cleared of people. You do not want to risk hitting a fellow golfer.
•  If you find that your ball is heading in the direction of another player or group of players, be sure to yell "Fore!" to signal that they should be watchful of your incoming golf ball.
•  Don’t lose cool. Displays of frustration are one thing, but outbursts of temper are quite another. Yelling, screaming, throwing clubs or otherwise making a fool of yourself are unacceptable and, in some cases, dangerous to yourself and others.
•  Last but not the least; respect the rules and regulations of the course you are playing.

Backswing Like A Pro

The golf backswing can be a mysterious, but important part of the game even to beginners. There are different styles of backswing on the PGA Tour, but there is one thing that is common between all, the best players get their upper bodies fully turned, with hands as far from the head as possible and clubface sitting on the same angle as their left arm. Without the body loaded correctly during the early stages of the golf backswing, any golfer will tend to over swing as their brains don't have a sense of muscular tension that would signal the beginning of the downswing.

Golf Tournaments

During Golf Tournaments, even experienced golfers are in some cases humbled by a bad swing. There is nothing more troubling than a golf ball gone wild to remind a player that they have become out of practice. There are a couple of simple things you can do to achieve that perfect backswing:

• Position your body so that your feet are shoulder length apart. When you position your body like this, you will be able to easily shift your weight as you swing your golf club.
• You simply hold a club up at waist high, remove your left hand, and then hinge the right arm at the elbow to cock the club up and over the tip of your right shoulder.
• Turn your shoulders and upper body away from the target until the right forearm is to the right of your body.
• The right elbow again pointing at your right hip. Finally, reach across and replace your left hand on the grip.
  • Do not race back or jerk the club away too quick. Instead you want to stay in balance and turn around your spines axis.
  • Through repetition your body begins to recognize and respond automatically to the sensations involved in putting together a naturally correct and symmetrical backswing.
