Safety on the golf course - Golf etiquette

Golf etiquette is of course also responsible for safety on the golf course and safety in golf in general, and it includes all the guidelines that new and experienced golfers must observe. Players, caddies and spectators must look after their own safety and that of others and always follow golf etiquette. The dangers in golf should not be underestimated. Yet the danger from thunderstorms or from flying golf balls is often underestimated on the course. Please always pay attention to your own safety and the safety of your fellow players before, during and after your round. Golf is a very complicated game with many rules and strict etiquette. Among other things, all of this above all has the aim of ensuring safety on the course. Safety in golf has many aspects, and the warning shout Fore is one of the most important. Every golfer knows that when this warning shout rings out, danger is imminent and you must above all protect your head from flying golf balls. If a thunderstorm is brewing or under way, golfers must head for the nearest lightning shelter or the clubhouse. If this is no longer possible, never seek shelter under trees; lie flat on the ground instead. But never near water pipes or underground irrigation systems!
