Seasonal Golf & Events
Your first golf outing of the season: etiquette and conversation
Etiquette, pace and conversation tips for executives heading to the first outing of the year.

The takeaway
Arrive early, keep pace, be generous with encouragement, and let business conversation come naturally.
Arrive early
Arriving early gives you time to warm up and meet your group without rushing. Introductions on the practice green are often easier than on the first tee.
Etiquette basics
Good etiquette makes you someone people want to play with again.
- Be ready when it is your turn.
- Respect quiet during swings.
- Repair divots and ball marks.
- Keep phone use to a minimum.
Conversation
Ask about their work between shots, but respect concentration. The walk or ride to the next hole is a natural moment for questions.
Save detailed business for after the round or a follow-up call.
