From New York Times bestselling author, etiquette expert, and golf
enthusiast Peter Post comes a field guide to social intelligence
for golfers-both new and seasoned-that will help you play your best
game Golf is the only sport where how you treat the other people in
the game is as important as the actual game itself. The rules for
playing golf are clearly defined, but how golfers expect other
golfers to comport themselves before, during, and after a round is
less codified. Acting in ways that frustrate your fellow golfers is
a fast way to find yourself without partners. Now bestselling
etiquette authority and enthusiastic golfer Peter Post explains
what newcomers and even seasoned golfers need to know to
confidently handle every situation that doesn't have to do with
hitting a shot. Based on The Emily Post Institute surveys on
golfers' most annoying incidents on the course, Peter addresses: *
How to deal with the biggest frustration in golf-slow play. * When
to speak and when to keep quiet. * When is a "gimme" acceptable? *
Where to stand when a fellow golfer is making a shot. * Dealing
with sandbaggers and other cheats. * Dos and don'ts when playing
for "a little something." Peter Post's useful tips on the
subtleties of the game-such as how and when to offer advice,
showing respect for the course, and "piniquette"-will help longtime
golfers be better companions on the course. New golfers unsure of
the unwritten rules of golf will find all the information they need
to feel confident playing with other golfers and to avoid
embarrassing themselves. Packed with true stories from golfers
about their best moments and worst behavioral blunders on the
course, this book is for anyone who appreciates the spirit of the
game.
