GO SCHUMACHER ON THE GOLF CART
It's not a Sunday drive, but likewise driving like a hoon is also not on. Confine your off-road antics to your 4x4... grassed hills, sand traps and rough areas are out of bounds. Also, keep the cart at least 10 metres away from the green.
SPEND AGES LOOKING FOR A MISSING BALL
All your efforts to look like a cashed-up corporate cliché will be in vain if you spend all afternoon trying to find that Dhs5 missing ball. Officially you have five minutes, so make it snappy. Can't find it? Take a drop.
PLAY AT A SNAIL'S PACE
Still a hack? Then keep it snappy; don't make your fellow players constantly wait for you. If you're here to impress someone, you won't clock up any brownie points being a lousy golfer. Practise at a driving range or take up quoits.
LEAVE WITHOUT RAKING A SANDPIT
Don't leave a bunker looking like a D9 has just ploughed through it. Even if the player before you has left a mess, always rake the sandtrap. Afterwards, place the rake outside the bunker, flat on the ground and pointing in the direction of play.
YAP WHILE a mate'S TEEING OFF
This isn't the time to dissect last night's game or point out that the golfer on the next hole looks like Natalie Gulbis. Save it for the 19th hole, or at least once everyone has teed off.
