If you've never played golf, there are some things you must know before you step foot on a golf course. Whether you are playing for fun, business or you're a parent whose kid plays, Quiet Please! will help you avoid embarrassing moments when you learn some of the most common rules and proper etiquette.
Imagine going to the first tee and your phone rings so loudly it can be heard within a 100 yard radius. People swing their heads around to glare at you and you feel like slithering under the cart but you realize you can't fit. If your phone happened to ring when someone was getting ready to hit their shot, be prepared to hear more cuss words than you would on a school bus. That's not the best start to a four or five hour day with strangers. If you're playing for business, don't expect to close the deal.
If you walk across someone's line on the putting green, jingle the change in your pocket or rip your glove off at the wrong time, you might want to duck. There's a good chance a club is coming your way, fast.
Parents who have kids playing in junior golf tournaments or on their school team are some of the worst offenders of golf etiquette. I know you want to support your kid and that's great. But please learn a few golf rules and etiquette to make sure you don't embarrass yourself and your kid.
Quiet Please! is a book for people who want to play golf for the first time for pleasure or for business. And for parents of junior golfers.
Please don't buy this book if you are an experienced golfer hoping to find the key to the perfect swing, the secret to breaking 100, 90, 80, or 70 because you won't find that information here.
Quiet Please! is written by an experienced golfer with decades' of experience. Mrs. Kelly is the current president of a golf association, a business executive who closes deals on the course, and a mom of a junior golfer. She wrote this book to help people overcome their fear of playing golf for the first time and to enjoy the game by learning etiquette and some of the most common rules.
