Golf Course Etiquette 101
Mastering the unwritten rules of the game for a premium experience at Caldera Links.
Introduction: The Spirit of the Game
At Caldera Links, golf is more than just a sport; it is a tradition of respect, integrity, and consideration. Etiquette isn't just about following rules; it's about ensuring every member and guest enjoys the serene beauty of our Singapore championship course. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a new player, mastering these basics ensures a seamless day on the greens.
Pace of Play: Keeping the Rhythm
Nothing disrupts the tranquility of a round like an unnecessary delay. To keep the game enjoyable for everyone:
- Be Ready: Prepare for your next shot while others are playing. Select your club and glove before it's your turn.
- Follow the Group: Your position on the course is immediately behind the group in front, not just ahead of the group behind.
- The Three-Minute Rule: Limit searches for lost balls to three minutes to maintain flow.
Caring for the Course
Help us maintain our pristine turf for everyone who follows you.
- Repair Divots: Use the provided sand mix to fill divots on the fairways.
- Fix Ball Marks: Always repair your ball mark on the green using a pitch-mark tool.
- Rake Bunkers: Smooth out footprints and marks after playing from a sand trap.
Safety First: The Golden Rule
Safety is paramount given Singapore's lush yet compact landscapes. Follow these vital cues:
- Yell "FORE!" immediately if there is any chance your ball might hit someone.
- Stand behind and to the side of the player currently hitting.
- Never hit until the players ahead are well out of range.
