I’ve committed a particular golf faux pas at least 100 times...  When my playing partners hit good golf shots, my enthusiasm erupts as soon as I hear the great sound of solid contact and see the golf ball on a promising path.  I usually say, “Nice!” just before things go wrong and the golf shot does not turn out to be “nice” at all.  The golfoutloud.com feature on golf etiquette outlines a couple of tips for handling this situation.  After reading these tips, I’ve decided to keep my comments silently to myself until each golf shot is complete.  I really do like to laugh, joke and talk with my playing partners during a round of golf, but this is one area of golf etiquette I plan to improve.
