What rules etiquette videos cover

Navigating the world of golf requires more than just a smooth swing; it demands a deep understanding of the rules, a commitment to proper etiquette, and a library of reliable tips to handle the game’s inevitable challenges. Whether you are a beginner trying to decode the jargon or a seasoned player looking to shave strokes off your handicap, mastering the nuances of the course is essential. This collection of 19 videos provides a comprehensive look at how to approach the game with both technical precision and the right mindset, ensuring you stay respectful of the traditions while maximizing your performance.

We’ve gathered insights from some of the most respected voices in the industry to offer a balanced perspective on every facet of the sport. You’ll find data-driven training advice from Athletic Motion Golf, strategic course management tips from Golf Sidekick, and foundational guides from Paige Spiranac. By exploring content from diverse creators like Georgia Ball Golf and Hannah Holden Golf, you can avoid the common mistake of mix-mashing advice and instead build a cohesive plan for improvement.

Inside this guide, you will discover how to handle tricky lies, such as hitting from an uphill slope or playing with the ball below your feet. Beyond the physical swing, we delve into the "unwritten rules" and official regulations, including the Leaf Rule and proper dropping procedures. You will also learn critical cautions, such as why you should never bring new swing mechanics onto the course during a scoring round or why making excuses before a game can sabotage your results before you even tee off.

Golf is a journey of constant learning and refinement. By engaging with these multiple perspectives, you’ll gain the tools to stop chasing "revenge shots" and start playing with a professional level of composure. We encourage you to dive into these videos, compare the statistics that matter to your own game, and discover the specific strategies that will help you enjoy every round more than the last.

What the coaches say

Asked and answered

Questions

What should I do if my ball is below my feet at address?

When the ball is below your feet, you should anticipate a 'squirt' or a slider that moves from left to right. Aim slightly left of your target to compensate for this natural ball flight tendency, as suggested by Golf Sidekick.

How do I correctly drop a ball under the current rules?

According to the updated rules of golf, you must drop the ball from knee height. This means the height of where your knee is positioned while standing, not descending to the ground level where your knee would be if you were kneeling.

Is it okay to practice new swing mechanics during a round?

No, you should avoid bringing swing mechanics to the course during a scoring round. Focus on the target and the shot at hand; save the technical changes for the range or a dedicated practice session.
