Golf is a sport that requires companions. At least three people must gather to have a real round. It is exhausting if the fellow golfers you play with lack etiquette. Instead of relieving stress, you end up getting more frustrated. This is what Golf.com in the U.S. recently introduced as the 'best teammates.' First, golfers who play quickly (Play Fast). Even if their shots are shaky, they focus on keeping pace with their companions.

Beginners pay even more attention to playing time. They walk quickly from the moment they move. They calculate distances and read greens swiftly. Their scores may be somewhat poor, but they receive praise as "the best partner." Next are players who keep their temper under control (Keep Their Temper Under Control). Golf is a sport that brings a dead ball to life. It is not easy. When an out-of-bounds (OB) occurs, tempers flare. The same goes for '3-putts.'

However, you should not reveal your true temperament during the round. If you cannot hold back your anger and explode, you naturally ruin the atmosphere. This is especially important in 'business golf.' It negatively affects not only your companions but also your own play. It is important to maintain boundaries that allow consideration for others. There is a saying, "People won't remember your golf skills, but they won't forget your personality." Never give up (Never Give Up).

Some golfers easily give up on a hole after a missed shot. It is necessary to have the right mindset. Even rounds for friendship-building look better when you do your best. Taking shots carelessly leaves a bad impression on others. At the golf course, you focus on the game wherever you are. That is true sportsmanship and consideration for others. Both your time and your companions' time have golden value.
