Grupo Mayan Golf Lovers

The Grupo Mayan resorts have been fortunate to host several national golf tournaments on our beautiful golf courses. Golfers come from all over the world to compete and fans come from everywhere to cheer their favorites on to victory. The Grupo Mayan golf pros offer our guests the following etiquette tips for golf fans watching a game from the sidelines.

• The most importance advice, say the Grupo Mayan golf pros, is to watch quietly. Golfers must concentrate on each and every shot. In order to do so they require silence from the fans.
• Never have your cell phone turned on during a golf game. While watching the game you can set your cell phone to vibrate or silent suggest the Grupo Mayan golf pros. The same advice holds true for pagers and other electronic devices.
• Never take photographs with a flash warn the Grupo Mayan golf pros. Even during the day a flash can reflect off of a golfer´s eye and cause him to miss his shot. This distraction can also present safety concerns if a ball is hit incorrectly and veers off course.
• Make sure to stay off the playing area. During golf tournaments most clubs designate areas where golf fans can safely watch the game. Stay on marked paths and don´t attempt to walk across the fairways.
• Some fans, say the Grupo Mayan golf pros, will be sitting behind the ropes that mark the course. Never stand in front of seated fans as you will block their view of the game. Standing fans should always position themselves behind seated fans.
• Walk slowly with the crowd. At times the fan area can become crowed. Do not attempt to push your way through urge the Grupo Mayan golf pros. This type of behavior will be seen as rude.

The Grupo Mayan golf pros also urge golf fans to always to be respectful and courteous to golfers, club employees, tournament officials, and other fans. Do not attempt to stand on the green or leave the roped areas to get on the course.

You should dress in a comfortable manner. The basic fan ìuniformî is khakis, (shorts or pants), and a polo shirt. If the weather is cool be sure to bring a sweater or jacket. You will be outside for a long time so apply sunscreen before and during the game. Above all, say the Grupo Mayan golf pros, have a great time!
