• Never assume other players see you, even if you’re standing in their fairway. Wait until they hit or make sure they acknowledge your presence.
• Know where you are. If you’re on the right side of your fairway, chances are golfers coming up the adjacent hole will hit it in your direction.
• When you hear “fore,” don’t assume it’s not meant for you. Always protect yourself, even if it means backing away from the ball.
