Education

Basics of Golf: Rules, Etiquette and Handicapping

presented by Maureen Mahoney, our Golf Education Director

Zoom Call link here in case you missed it !

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gapb31a7yg51eh4s6o6oc/Rules-and-Etiquette-Aug2026comp.mp4?rlkey=9za0fdcin9mr7k0e2z812wznr&st=wfq693a5&dl=0

Just a reminder of the importance of maintaining the proper pace of play. Regardless of the venue or the players’ abilities, golfers are expected to keep up with the group ahead at all times. Failing to maintain the pace by allowing a gap of one or more open holes in front of your group, or refusing requests from course personnel to pick up the pace reflects badly on our organization and can damage our relationship with our host courses.  

Please review some reminders about pace and course etiquette at https://chapters.lpgaamateurs.com/education/education/NYLI

The warmer weather means more crowded courses and sometimes slower golf rounds, but let’s all do our part to ensure that our members are never the cause of the slow play.

Thank you, Maureen Mahoney Rules Chair

Find all golf rules, etiquette, pace of play resources below and on our website. lpgaamateurslongisland.com

Rules: The USGA Rules of Golf govern our league play. We encourage all members to review Rules and Clarifications (usga.org), and to download the USGA Rules of Golf app so information is readily available should a rules question arise during the course of play.

• What to do when you arrive at the course
• Tips for maintaining a good pace of play
• Scoring etiquette
• And much more
