Golf Clubs � Golf Irons � Staying Safe On The Course

When you're out on the golf course, its important to use your golf clubs safely. Here are some tips on how to stay safe on the green.

Golf is a very safe sport overall, but there can be occasional injuries if people don't stick to the simple rules. Always remember that your golf club is potentially a lethal piece of sports equipment and it must always be handled with care.

The most important factor to think about is your proximately to other people when preparing to swing your golf clubs. Before you get your irons out, make sure that other players are a safe distance away from you on the golf course. Never swing a golf club if another golfer is stood near to you and particularly watch out for junior golfers on the course who might not have the maturity or ability to make sound judgement as to the distance of your golf irons or your ball.

When you're waiting to take your next golf swing, be aware of other golfers around you. Although you might be safe, not everyone on the course will have the same standards so you must always be aware of your surroundings. Be especially careful if you have to venture into an adjoining fairway to retrieve or play an errant shot, or if you are close to an adjoining fairway and golfers on that hole are hitting toward you.

If you do ever find yourself in a situation where you might have put other golf players at risk, for example, if you hit a drive further than you expected or you realise that the fairway you thought was clear, actually isn't, then the best thing to do is shout the internationally recognised work for warning in golf, �FORE!� This is the sign golfers recognise as meaning that they need to abandon their golf irons and take cover as a stray golf ball might be heading their way. If you hear the word �fore� you should aim to cover up, for example, hide behind a tree or your golf bag and protect your head until you know that the golf ball has landed safely.

Be extremely careful when you're operating your golf buggy. Make sure that all your golf clubs are safely zipped away in your golf bag and there is no danger of your irons falling out of the buggy and obstructing someone else's path. Stick to the paths in your buggy and keep your speed to minimum, particularly on sharp bends on he course. The most important factor is that you should never drive if you're under the influence of alcohol.
