Walk, don't run. Running is annoying, distracting and causes damage to the course. Walk quickly but lightly! And sauntering drives the players behind you crazy!
Spot your ball - If you lose your ball in flight or on the roll, spot an object (tree, bunker etc) and walk towards that object.
Opps! Out of bounds???… and you haven't played another (provisional ball) - place another ball nearby, and take a one-stroke penalty rather than returning to the
tee box.
Check out other holes - As you go by other holes, check for landing areas, hazards, and pin placements.
Repair divots on the fairway - either by filling in the hole with a sand/seed mixture*, or the original divot.*Often the birds on a golf course like to pick up
divots for an easy meal so golfers are supplied with a mixture of sand and grass seed to use.
Just hit your ball into a fairway bunker? Don't get into a 'hissy-fit' - pretend the sand is short brown grass!
