Yep and when people say they dont like others standing behind them I take it to mean behind the ball looking down the line.

Any idea what the health and safety executive advises?
I just stand at a point I naturally arrive at, I've never given it any thought, if an FC asks me to take a step back or to the side I will as I'd expect them to do if I asked!

With reference to the OP, behind is behind, as in with the players back to you, in front is in front, as in facing you. One of us is confused, I don't think it is me on this occasion.
And we all wonder why it's difficult to introduce and keep youngsters in this sport. :smirk:
I don't care where people stand as long as their still and quiet and not figitating around, if someone wants me to stand in a particular place, not a problem, just ask me nicely.

A member at my club told me about playing a match against a real stickler from his other club. This other chap was very particular about where my mate stood, and after being asked to move several times (each time from a different postion relative to Stickler), he asked, "where do you consider the RIGHT place for me to stand is?"
The answer was "when I'm putting, I expect you to stand OFF the putting green as far as way from me as possible" !!!!

If wearing Adizero's then they shouldnt be on the course - not because they are banned, but because they are not old school!

Oh hells teeth what is wrong with some folks on this forum?
Believe me (or ask Doon) - there is an accepted convention for where you should stand when a PP is teeing off. I am not making this up. What is difficult about understanding that convention and accepting it.
And for those who don't care about where others stand, great - you have no problems, But for those who stand wherever they like or think OK unless asked - surely it is easier just to make sure you do the accepted right thing. At least then you'll know unless asked that your PP is fine with where you are standing - and as, if not more, important - you pass on this message to youngsters and newbies.
This is simply to do with respect for your fellow player and making sure that as far as possible they are not distracted by you when they are teeing off. It is all about what your PP is happy with, not what you think he'll be happy with.

Thought it was universally agreed that this was all down to 'old fashioned' ideas about dress codes
....
Is this convention you speak of in the rule book or just something some old dried up Major who was a member of a club years back told you about?
Where should you stand when having a pp, should it be up wind so the opposition catch some spray

Where is this "accepted convention" for where we should stand ?
Can you tell me where I can read it to ensure that I'm standing in the right place

I think the only safe way to resolve this is if we all play on our own...
For the love of all things holy.. Sometimes I really wonder about the future of this sport when this topic gets this much attention...
