Totally agree Spanks, every new golfers first lesson should include some golf etticute. Fixing ball marks, pulling and replacing of the flag, where to stand on greens when others putting ect.. I wish my first coach had taught me these things because I had to figure it out by myself and felt awkward for quite a few rounds trying to figure out the right thing to do, and not wanting to irritate the other golfers with my newness.

Yup my instructor (I had a 6 lesson pkg) took at least 10 minutes per lesson on his beginner lessons to teach basic etiquette. If we were practicing irons then he would include a snippet on replacing and/or filling divots, driver was tee box etiquette (where to stand, et al), short game was ball finding and sand etiquette, and putting would be repair marks and green etiquette. Basic stuff really but there are folks out there that I know have been golfing longer than me that don't practice these things.
