How to Practice Golf Etiquette on the Green

Video Transcript

"Hello welcome my name is Julio Nutt and I am a master instructor of the Jim McLean Golf School in Miami, Florida. In this clip I am going to talk about golf etiquette on the green. It is very important that you know the basic things around the green so that you look good with your playing patterns. The first thing is always carry a ball marker. Don't mark your ball with a tee or something that is not adequate. I have my ball mark and when you come and put the ball, you have got to put the ball as close to the ball marker. You don't want to move the ball around, not even and eight of an inch. You remove the ball mark and you are ready to putt. After you hit your putt, make sure when you go around reading the green you are not going to step into the line of somebody else. Suppose my playing partner has his ball mark here and it is my shot and I am going to putt from here because I am far away from him. As I read my putt I have got to make sure that I am not going to step on his lines or her lines. I have got to move around and I have always got to keep in mind where my playing partners are on the green so that I don't touch their line. This is something that is going to make you look very good and it is going to make you a better golfer. This is Julio Nutt of the Jim McLean Golf School."
