Where Playing Partners Stand when I tee off

[Deleted member 15344]

Someone wanting to teach beginners not to embarrass themselves.

I'd be embarrassed giving them that list

Beginners wouldn't last long - they would look at that list and think what a bunch of sanctimonious rubbish and walk away from the game.

I have no idea where I stand but if I was asked nicely to not stand directly behind someone then I wouldn't have a problem, if I was asked with a hint of bad attitude then I'd put them in the nearest lake :thup:

I wonder if the tour pros earning millions have to deal with the same dilemmas us amateurs do :rofl:

Sounds like another Python sketch

"Graham Chapman: I think all right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

All: Yes, yes...

Graham Chapman: I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.

Not Sure?: Mrs. Havoc-Jones.

Mrs. Havoc-Jones: Well, I meet a lot of people and I'm convinced that the vast majority of wrong thinking people are right.

Not Sure?: There seems like a consensus there. Could we have the next question, please? "

On the teeing ground, a player should not tee his ball until it is his turn to play.
Players should not stand close to or directly behind the ball, or directly
behind the hole, when a player is about to play.

No WE are right!
The commandments say so.

Don't the commandments also say you can't lay with another man, am eye for an eye and all that too.........

Maybe this should fall to the responsibility of someone on the match & comps committee taking all new members out onto the course when they join and telling them where they should stand when playing, I'm sure it would be well received

Depends on the handicap of the new member.
If he was a beginner perhaps the safest place to stand would be more beneficial.

Mmmmmmm :mmm:

Bury em' in a bunker

But a very large percentage of people who have contributed to this thread and don't accept what is being muted, are not beginners, so shouldn't they be educated also?

Hells teeth I am starting to get worried now.
Perhaps I should clarify some old school thoughts.

Standing behind the player means standing at the back of the tee looking directly down the line of the fairway. Probably the most inconsiderate place to be and only done by folk who do not have a clue about golf. [Unless offered or asked to do so by FC into a low sun.]
...

In which Galaxy is "standing behind the player" equal to standing at the back of the tee looking down the fairway?
Is the guy teeing off Croquet-style...?

It is an historic golfing term.

id agree, when someone says behind the player the mean behind the ball looking down the line. Not at his back.

Which page ? Just checked and can't find that paragraph ?

Found it - so how close is too close because it clarifies that earlier by saying not to close to be I'm danger of being hit - which most people do anyway. And directly behind the hole is also a natural one and yes directly behind the ball will stop the player from actually hitting the ball.

Doesn't say that you can't stand in the line of the shot ?

The ball...........not the player.
