2. Time to make your golf course debut!
reception
Arrive at the golf course with plenty of time to spare (ideally an hour before your tee time). Once you arrive, check in and you'll be given a locker key. Change into your golf clothes and shoes in the locker room. Also, be sure to confirm your tee time and starting hole (IN start? OUT start?).
Locker room
Golf courses have locker rooms where you can change clothes. You can wear your golf attire when you arrive at the golf course, but in the summer you'll sweat, so it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes depending on the situation. Also, most courses have dedicated lockers for valuables, so please use those.
Starting hole
Arrive at the starting hole (which hole you'll be starting on? Check with the reception) about 15 minutes before your tee time. Depending on the progress of the group ahead, your tee time may change. It's important to be early.
Halfway through, lunch
Most golf courses have a lunch break (about an hour or so) after the first nine holes (halfway through), followed by the second nine holes (halfway through). During the break, you are free to do as you please, such as eating or changing into a different outfit in the locker room if you've worked up a sweat.
Before entering the clubhouse, make sure to check your surroundings, such as removing any mud from the bottoms of your shoes.
Second half - starting hole
For the second half, just like the first half, try to arrive about 15 minutes before your tee time (they'll tell you your starting hole and time for the second half at the end of the first half). Don't overindulge in delicious food during the break; eating until you're 80% full will make the second half difficult.
End of Round
Finally, you've completed all 18 holes and are returning to the clubhouse. Before entering the clubhouse, please take a moment to check your belongings and make sure you haven't left any equipment (clubs, balls, etc.) behind.
Locker room
Golf course locker rooms often have showers. It's great to unwind in a bath after a long day! (Please note that some courses may not have showers.)
Also, let's get ready to go home here (change clothes, change shoes, check to make sure we haven't forgotten anything, etc.).
Settle the bill and go home.
Once you've gotten ready and checked to make sure you haven't forgotten anything, you'll settle your bill at the reception. Also, since you'll often be leaving in the evening, please be extra careful on your way home. It's not a famous line from an elementary school principal, but "Golf isn't over until you get home."
