Guide to golf green



Do you wonder how it feels to walk on the beautifully manicured green golf course? If so, then you surely will enjoy the experience. You need to understand the golf courses and their individual characteristics. Understanding the golf green will help you navigate your golf ball around the green correctly and learn the famous golf swing along the way.

What the types of golf courses?

Links course. This is the traditional type of golf course, much like the golf course in the British Isles. These courses are mostly located in coastal areas, on sandy soil and with artificial water and sand hazards.

Parkland course. They resemble British parks, with lawn-like fairways and many trees.

Heathland course. They are less wooded than parkland courses. It has space that is more open and may even have tall grasses in them.

Desert course. Popular in Australia and some parts of the United States. These courses may not be as green as you think. It may be quite difficult to hit the ball around this course because of the flat space.

Executive course. These courses are generally smaller than the 18-hole golf course. They are however well manicured and players they enjoy their round.

There are other types of courses but these are the most common courses and the United States Golf Association (USGA) and R&A, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, accept them.

When playing golf, you need to be aware of golf etiquette and respect for the environment. Some of the golf etiquette players need to keep in mind include:

- Do not talk or laugh too loudly so that other players may loose concentration.

- Never get in the way of other players, especially when they are about to make a shot.

- Do not walk too fast or too slow - you may not be able to keep at pace with your partner.

- Play the ball right where it rested after a stroke

- Avoid causing damage to the green. You must repair damage before leaving the green.

This golf etiquette on the green shows respect for other players and the green.

Knowing the golf etiquette is one thing; the rules and regulation should also be followed while playing.

Finally, golfers need to have patience and practice to enjoy this great game.
