Is it appropriate to take pictures on golf course?

Question

well, is it appropriate to take pictures on golf course ?

Answer 1

Yes- as long as your behaviour is appropriate and you don't delay play.  

It's quite common at certain courses to get a photo (especially courses like Pebble Beach, St. Andrews (standing on the bridge on the 18th hole), and the like.

Answer 2

NUDEE LMAO , h**l ya

Answer 3

yeah.. but what type of pictures do you intend to take? if its explicit pictures, then no. but if its just pictures then yeah.

Answer 4

YES.

Just be sure that you follow golf course etiquette of not taking pictures right in the middle of someone's swing (Tiger hates it) and make sure you're not slowing down play for the groups behind you.

Answer 5

Go for it.  What can anyone do?  Just be nice about it.

Answer 6

appropiate but kinda risky

Answer 7

yes it's fine!

Answer 8

I suppose it depend if the pictures are appropriate.

Answer 9

Yea, Do whatever on the course you want to as long as it don't harm anything and don't delay the speed of play. On a nicer course or your country clubs they might not let you onto the grounds to even take the picture. I know I worked at Medinah CC this past summer as an intern on the grounds crew and only employees and members were allowed within the grounds.

Answer 10

Depends on what kind of pictures it is

Answer 11

Dont see why not.. but who would want to? thats a lil odd.

Answer 12

As long as you don't slow down the pace of play more than the rest of your group finds acceptable. I do it all the time. If you are slowing down the group behind you, you can always let them play ahead. The only thing I do is make sure the camera is ready so that I don't waste to much time. There are a lot of nice courses built in great locations.

Answer 13

Sure, as long as your not ripping up the green or chopping down a tree.

Answer 14

yes and no

you can take all the pics you want provided you are not distracting any golfers.

distractions include a cameras flash,any sounds the camera may make and how close you are to a golfer who is about to hit the ball.(stand behind any golfer who is lining up his next shot and be quiet)

its more of an unspoken etiquette then a rule on most courses unless the course prohibits photography.

hopefully this answered your question fully.

Answer 15

Depends on what you are taking pictures of..and if you have your clothes on..!

Answer 16

absolutely, so long as your taking pictures do not effect or interfere with the play of others.

Answer 17

NO.

It's people like you who take pictures on the golf course who are already slow golfers and further slow down ACTUAL golfers by talking, eating, or TAKING PICTURES.

You are there to golf at a reasonable pace, not to enjoy the scenery.

Answer 18

Read the rules at the golf course. If it doesn't say anything, go ahead.

Of course, don't do it so that it slows down your playing.

Answer 19

You may, just don't be snapping someone while they are trying to hit the ball - that would be considered rude and distracting.  Also don't hold up the players behind you while you are framing, focusing etc.

Answer 20

yes as long as you are not obstructing anyones game:its best to stay off of the greens ( you never know when a ball will come and hit you)

Answer 21

As long as it doesn't slow down pace of play or interrupt the golfer, there isn't an issue with it.  People take pictures on the golf course all the time.  Have you ever read an issue of Travel and Leisure Golf.  People send pictures to the magazine of them playing at the best courses worldwide.

Answer 22

dont c y not lol but i dont no y u would wona lol

Answer 23

Pictures of what?

The scenery, Yourself, your friends, your "almost" hole in one"?

Sure.....why not

Public pictures are actually allowed anywhere, I believe...It's what you do with them afterwards that matters....

Answer 24

As long as it's not during Tiger's backswing...Absolutely!  

Wait a minute, do you mean while you are golfing?

The scenery can be awesome, I've taken a few pics myself... as long as you are conscious of your pace of play, and you're not damaging the course (I'm not sure how you would be), there is no 'unwritten rule' or written rule that prohibits it.
