Practice is a very important part of the game of golf — just as it’s an important part of any game. Lot’s of people go to driving ranges and putting greens to practice their swing and putting technique.

Remember that good golf etiquette is required at the practice area as well as on the course. At the practice area golfers are concentrating on improving and correcting their swings and that can only be done where there is a minimum of distraction. Demonstrate that you understand and appreciate good golf etiquette even when you are at the practice areas.

Keep useless chatter to a minimum

Don’t clown around (I once observed some people trying to hit two golf balls at once; it ended in a disaster of golf balls flying everywhere)

Don’t give unsolicited lessons or swing tips. There are usually PGA teaching pros on site who depend on that job to feed their families.

Focus on YOUR swing and making good contact with the ball; then leave and open up that space for someone else.
