Saddleback's Five Commandments

By Jazmin Pando

For those of you who may not have extensive golfing experience or may simply be lacking common sense here are the basic proper golf etiquette rules:

1. Before you arrive make sure you are properly dressed . What this means is that bikinis, thongs, jock straps, high heels, pasties, and bras are typically not permitted (unless you are at Saddleback of course).

2. Make sure you have the proper equipment. Baseball bats, brooms, canes, or any other sort of stick is probably not going to get you to the PGA tour. As for balls, lets just say golf balls work best.
3. Do not urinate on the golf course, unless you can aim right into a hole. Otherwise run to the nearest restroom.
4. Do not drive the golf cart carelessly, in fact do quite the opposite aim to injure.
5. And finally, don’t throw temper tantrums. But if you absolutely must, make sure your colorful language is modified like “son of a beach” or “mother focker”. You can even use acronyms instead like WTF or FML. Or simply cuss in another language that way the people around you just think you are excited, I suggest Italian or Spanish for this.

So, now that you are properly informed make sure to visit your local golf course and practice your etiquette. Have fun!
