What is Golf Etiquette?

Friday, July 29th, 2011

“Golf etiquette is a set of rules – both written and unwritten – that governs behavior on a golf course. Most simply put, golf etiquette is good manners – being considerate of the golfers you are playing with and other golfers on the course.

The guidelines of golf etiquette are designed to keep golf enjoyable for everyone on the course by making sure that golfers keep moving (preventing the rounds from becoming interminably long), that everyone remains safe, and that golfers are good stewards of the course. And that players are, simply, nice to each other – no gamesmanship, no deliberate or inadvertent interference with another player’s game. ”

Family golf resorts are sited far and wide with plenty in this country for your selection. There may be a resort nearby, or maybe, you want to venture further and drive some distance for a wonderful trip. By surfing the Internet, you can find a wider range of golf resorts in various locations. Look for resorts locally or in your county, or further afield, the places you had already planned for. You will be able to find out what’s in your surrounding area or a short drive away. Looking at all the options available will help you make the most of your trip.

One of the more popular Family Golf Resorts is the ‘Club Med Sandpiper’ located in the United States. It is well known and is more famous for being a golf club that is family orientated. This club is to be found in Florida and is centred around a Caribbean theme. Baby Club and Petit Club Med which is for 2 and 3 year olds are two of the many types of child-orientated programs available. Children can also enjoy in fun activities aside from the golf, like inline skating and trapeze which they may find new and exciting. There are different packages for children to choose from including a free daily lesson in a free 9-hole Pitch ‘N’ Putt.

Club Med Sandpiper sounds all well and good, but if it is out of your price range or you cannot book reservations, you can choose from many other fabulous family golf resorts. In Florida, there is the Sandestin Resort, another good option that could be for you. It offers a 2400 acre sized resort North West of Florida, having four golf courses and for your children there is the Junior Golf Academy where for one week, they could go for daily two hour Golf sessions in July.

The Caribbean and Hawaii also offer many options for families seeking a golfing holiday. Another famous golfing resort is the Wild Dunes Charleston Island resort which is also family themed.

With so many Family Golf Resorts to choose from, you and your family should not find it difficult to find one that is just right for an enjoyable holiday. These family resorts offer something for everyone. If you already play golf and want your family to try out the game, or it is a new game for the whole family to have a go out, a great family holiday can be had by all!
