At Waikoloa Village Golf Club in Waikoloa, HI, golfers can enjoy the sport while admiring the island's exquisite landscape. At this golf club, golfers have the privilege of playing in warm and dry conditions 364 days a year. However, even experienced golfers can forget to follow the basic etiquette of the game. Below, Waikoloa Village Golf Club explains three commonly forgotten guidelines of golf etiquette:

  • Fix ball marks: This may be the most important of all golf etiquette rules. Golfers: make sure to repair your ball marks on the greens, and while you are at it, fix a couple others as well. Stop by the golf shop if you need to pick up a new repair tool or need instruction on how to properly fix a ball mark.
  • Warm Up Mindfully: First, you want to arrive soon enough to do a proper warm-up. Arriving 30 minutes prior to your tee time will give you enough time to warm up on the range. Hit a few shots each with a short, mid, and long iron. Finish up with a couple of drivers but don't overdo it! Five or six drives should be enough to get you off to a good start.
  • Be Timely: To keep a good pace of play, it's important to walk at a reasonable speed between shots. Also, to save time, plan your next shot as you walk towards the ball. You can do this by studying the wind's power and movement. Lastly, know that it should take no more than 30 to 45 seconds to select your club and take your shot.
