Grupo Mayan Golf Lovers

The Grupo Mayan golf pros want all of our guests to have a pleasant experience while golfing during their holiday. With this in mind, our golf pros offer the following golfing etiquette tips.

•     Safety is important. Make sure to be aware of your surroundings before swinging your golf club say the Grupo Mayan golf pros. Make sure there are no golfers standing close enough to be hit when you swing.
•      Do not swing toward another golfer. Debris from the ground can be loosened and hit the person when you swing.
•     If you are playing behind a group of golfers, say the Grupo Mayan pros, make sure they are not where they could be hit when you swing.
•     Remember to yell “fore” if your ball is headed toward someone or you are aiming at an area that is populated.
•     Drive safely. Just as with a car, a golf cart can be dangerous if not driven responsibly. You are encouraged by the Grupo Mayan pros to not drink and drive.
•     No temper tantrums. You will not only embarrass yourself, you could harm someone. Never throw your golf clubs in anger.
•     Keep a good pace. The Grupo Mayan golf pros encourage you to be prepared when it is your turn to hit and to not cause unnecessary delays. Remember there are people playing behind you.
•     Don´t waste a long time looking for a lost ball. The rule is to spend five minutes looking for a lost ball. If there is a group behind you it is best to wave them forward as you search for your ball.
•    If you are the designated driver you will find that there is “golf cart etiquette”. The Grupo Mayan pros tell guests to be aware of where golf balls are hit and who hit which ball. If you are dropping golfers off at their balls you should drop the first hitter off first.
•     Take the clubs you think you will need when you leave the cart. It is a waste of time to have to return to the cart and will hold up golfers behind you.
• ï    Putting greens can become crowded. You should only be on the green when it is your turn to putt says the Grupo Mayan golf pros. As soon as you have completed your putt you should leave the green in deference of the other golfers.

The Grupo Mayan golf courses are carefully and professionally maintained.

•     Follow all posted signs for golf carts. The Grupo Mayan golf pros warn that there are several places on the course that carts are not allowed. Stay on the golf cart paths at all times.
•     Do not park or drive near the green areas. It is also a good idea to steer clear of course hazards.
•     If your club causes a divot make sure to replace the grass.
•     Balls can leave marks on the green. Smooth these marks over before moving to the next hole.
