Etiquette on the tee
Stand still and maintain silence
Find a place to stand as described above then be quiet until shots have been hit. A 'nice shot' comment is always welcome. Total silence is usually best for bad shots, but if you have some fun guys, a little ribbing or an 'ooooh' is OK. Judge it yourself.
Respect 'honor' unless playing 'ready golf'
Usually the order of play is predicted by the lowest scorer on the previous hole. Playing first is called 'the honor'. TOP TIP: Only crack the pathetic "your honor, your honor" joke if you're a generally funny guy. Fake laughter always stings.
Often though, guys play 'ready golf' which means if you're ready while the guy with the honor over you is fiddling around, hit before him to speed up play.
Wait until everyone has teed off
One of the rudest things you can do is leave the teeing area before everyone has hit and start walking up to your ball along the side of the hole. This is a surefire way of getting the guys in the group to gossip about you while you're playing! Unless the rest of the guys are jerks, stand and watch the other guys shots.
