If you're a newcomer to the golf game you will likely have kitted yourself out with some cheap golf equipment and will be raring to go out and hit some balls. The Rules of Golf are probably basically understood but you're probably seriously worried about your lack of understanding with regard to the etiquette that is required around the course. Do not worry. If you follow my little guide to etiquette you should have few problems.

Golf is a superb game and played correctly, with the right companions on a dry and warm day, you'll find nothing better. Regardless of your skill level you can easily find yourself becoming truly highly addicted. There are always personal targets to be set and achieved and it is no real surprise that before that not many players leave the game once introduced.

Like many sports it is important to get the basics right at the beginning. Grip the club incorrectly now and it will take an age to put it right. Misunderstand the fundamental rules and you'll soon fall foul of fellow players. Both these issues may be easily addressed at the beginning via lessons using a PGA professional or by reading the relevant rule books.

An area where beginners come unstuck however is the one about etiquette and, in many cases, the situation concerning the unwritten rules. In order to help players facing this situation I have drafted the following basic guide which I hope you will find helpful.

• Play with the right equipment. Cheap golf equipment is fine but ensure that you possess all the basics – maximum of 14 clubs, golf tees, golf balls (not range balls), pitch mark repairer.

• Wear golf shoes not trainers. There are lots of quality golf shoes for sale.

• Be properly attired. Collared shirt (tucked in); golf trousers (not jeans) or, in the summer months, golf shorts with suitable socks. If you review the online golf stores you will find plenty of cheap golf clothing on sale so no excuse in this area.

• Do not share golf clubs with your playing partner. It slows the game down for you and the ones following.

• Always avoid slow play

• Repair pitch-marks on greens and replace divots on the fairway.

• Rake bunkers correctly after playing out.

• Shout 'fore' on wayward shots where there is a danger of hitting other golfers.

• Keep quiet when one of your partners is playing his shot and keep still.

• Do not walk over a players putting line on the green

It has to be stated that not every player on every course observes the etiquette rules. They are the players that give the game a bad name and cause resentment amongst other golfers. Through using my simple guide you will hopefully become a model golfer and will take pleasure in the game to its full extent. Good golfing!

How high you tee the ball depends on which type of club you’re going to use. The reason the height changes is because the position of the “sweet spot”- the part of the clubface that produces optimum contact – is different for each club. On a driver, for instance, the sweet spot is higher up the face, whereas it is lower on a 7-iron-so learn to tee it accordingly.

When you reach the hole, you’ll see three or four sets of color-coded tee markers at varying distances from the green. Average players should play off the next set of marketers, the yellow tees. Red tees are usually reserved for female players. These are placed nearest to the putting green.

When you’re using a long iron off the tee, you need only to tee the ball up very slightly. Think of it as giving yourself the best lie that you can. If you’re using a short iron, tee it up to a minimal level to give yourself the best possible chance of getting a clean contact and imparting some backspin on the ball.

If you’re using a fairway wood to tee off, then tee up the ball enough so that half of the ball is visible above the top of the club head. Do this and you stand a better chance of finding the sweet spot. When you’re teeing with a driver be sure to tee the ball up with at least half of the ball visible above the clubface. This will help you to hit the ball on an upward path.

For many players, the first tee is cause for certain anxiety – yet it shouldn’t be. Try to remember that most players suffer the occasional bout of butterflies on the first tee, especially if there are people watching. The secret of conquering your nerves is to think positively and pay attention to what you want to achieve on the hole, rather than to the other players looking at you.

Try not to focus on the result of the shot you are about to play, but do focus on the actual process of hitting your ball. If you’ve set up correctly and made a good swing, your ball will ind your chosen target.

Use a club that you know you can rely on. Take a few practice swings to loosen up, and then begin your preshot routine. Whatever you do, do not be in a hurry. While you want to get the shot away, it’s good practice to take your time. Try breathing in and out through your nose. This can help bring your heart rate down and calm your nerves.

Don’t hit the ball too hard-this only increases the likelihood of a poor result. A shorter tee shot that finds the fairway is nearly always preferable to a longer one that makes your next shot too difficult.If you’ve hit your ball into the rough, make a mental note of an object, say a tree or a bush, that it may have landed near. This will make the ball easier to find when you begin looking for it.

Teeing up and teeing off isn’t difficult once you get used to it. It’ll become a natural process of your game before you know it!
