Chaptername Tips

Playing at coastal courses, the wind can make a difference of several clubs on one hole. The par 3 you reached with a 7-iron yesterday may require a 4-iron today. Keep the breeze in mind when you're making your club selection.

Count your clubs before beginning play and be sure to take the same number home with you. Be especially careful around the greens, an area where players are most likely to leave a club behind.

Always mark your ball before lifting it. Do this by placing your marker behind your ball, so you're not changing your putting line at all.

Carry a copy of the current United States Golf Association rule book (which, of course, you've read and memorized) in your golf bag.
