HAPPY GILMORE GOLF
AS MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN HAPPY GILMORE, THE MOVIE BY ADAM SANDLER YOU THINK OF
RUNNING UP AND HITTING THE BALL AND IT GOES VERY FAR. IN MY EXPERIENCE, IT DOESN’T
GO FAR AT ALL AND ON A ACTUAL GOLF SWING YOU DON’T RUN AND HIT THE BALL, YOU
STAND STILL TO HIT IT.
My golf game is so bad I had to have my ball retriever re-gripped.
WHAT TO DO ON A BAD DAY OF GOLF
• TAKE A DEEP BREATH
• RELAX
• DON’T OVER SWING
• THINK OF A HAPPY PLACE
• FOCUS
• DON’T PANIC
• “WELL I TRY TO FOCUS MORE AND WALK FASTER AND DON’T THINK OF HOW BAD I AM DOING AND START
TO DO BETTER.” A QUOTE FROM ADRIANNA W.
• “I TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND HIT MORE GOLF BALLS.” TAYLOR V.
GOLF ETIQUETTE
•
PLAYERS SHOULD ENSURE THAT NO ONE IS STANDING CLOSE BY OR IN A POSITION TO BE HIT BY THE CLUB, THE BALL OR ANY STONES, PEBBLES,
TWIGS OR THE LIKE WHEN THEY MAKE A STROKE OR PRACTICE SWING.
•
IF A PLAYER PLAYS A BALL IN A DIRECTION WHERE THERE IS A DANGER OF HITTING SOMEONE, HE SHOULD IMMEDIATELY SHOUT A WARNING.
THE TRADITIONAL WORD OF WARNING IN SUCH A SITUATION IS "FORE.“
•
PLAYERS SHOULD ALWAYS SHOW CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PLAYERS ON THE COURSE AND SHOULD NOT DISTURB THEIR PLAY BY MOVING,
TALKING OR MAKING ANY UNNECESSARY NOISE.
•
ON THE PUTTING GREEN, PLAYERS SHOULD NOT STAND ON ANOTHER PLAYER'S LINE OF PUTT OR WHEN HE IS MAKING A STROKE, CAST A
SHADOW OVER HIS LINE OF PUTT.
•
IN STROKE PLAY, A PLAYER WHO IS ACTING AS A MARKER SHOULD, IF NECESSARY, ON THE WAY TO THE NEXT TEE, CHECK THE SCORE WITH THE
PLAYER CONCERNED AND RECORD IT.
•
IF A PLAYER BELIEVES HIS BALL MAY BE LOST OUTSIDE A WATER HAZARD OR IS OUT OF BOUNDS, TO SAVE TIME, HE SHOULD PLAY A
PROVISIONAL BALL.
