I am continuing with some golf etiquette questions that many of you might have.
“Where should I stand on the tee?”
So you've made it to the first tee on the golf course. Where should you stand? The better question might be “Where shouldn't you stand?” Individual golfers have their own quirks and pet peeves, but generally, you don't want to be anywhere in front of the player teeing off or in the player’s line of vision. Directly across from the player (the same line as the ball) is probably not a good idea, and many players don't like it when someone is directly behind them. The one exception to the latter might be when the golfer is teeing off into the sun, so you can help the player locate the ball after it's hit. Also important: try not to move while the player is swinging, and no talking! It doesn't bother every golfer, but sitting in your golf cart while others are hitting tee shots can be considered rude, too, so it's also best to watch the other players’ shots and even encourage them.
