Grupo Mayan Resorts Golf: Golfing Etiquette

Etiquette is a very important part about golfing, and for good reason.

Golfing requires a lot of concentration, so it would be difficult to make a good shot or putt with someone laughing loudly, rattling their clubs, or running around the fairway or green. Plus, the etiquette is one factor that makes a game of golf so special and unique. At Grupo Mayan Resorts, the relaxation and enjoyment of the courses would be disturbed without the appreciation of such etiquette.

Essentially, etiquette is manners, and in using proper etiquette, people are able to courteously convey their respect for one another. First, players should always be quiet. Have you ever walked on to a golf course and taken a moment to appreciate the peaceful serenity of the setting? This is thanks to the other players being considerate of the need for quiet in order to play well. Other distractions should be avoided as well, so walk, don’t run, on the course. All of these little details help make Grupo Mayan golf courses such pleasant environments.

Safety is of the utmost importance in any sport, including golf. Watch where you take your practice swing- you wouldn’t want to hit another player! Also, golf carts can be dangerous, so keep an eye out for people around you.

A common rule in golf is the 90 degree rule: drive the cart on the path until you are even with your ball (at a 90 degree angle) then you can drive onto the fairway to your ball. After you’ve hit, drive straight back to the path and continue on. This way you cause the least amount of damage to the fairway. As a polite player, you can help to maintain the beauty of the courses at Grupo Mayan Resorts by following this rule.

Another key factor: keep moving! If golfers have to wait too long between shots they can lose their patience, so here are some tips on how to keep the pace up. Think about what club you will use in advance, and just try to keep an eye on the group ahead of you. As they leave the green, be ready to hit up to the green. This is more important than worrying about keeping space with the group behind you. In doing this, everyone can enjoy Grupo Mayan courses in a timely manner.

Finally, it is polite to make a tee time. The concierge at Grupo Mayan Resorts is always ready to help you make plans no matter what activity you’re looking for, and golf is no exception!
