My regular group plays ready golf. We don't believe in honors if you walk onto the tee box first, you tee off first. As for the greens, unless it's in your way generally no marking is being done. We're all serious golfers but we're casual about ettiquette (and spelling).
The one thing that bugs me, and I don't know why, is when a guy is walking when a shot is being made. Even if i'm about to tee off and I can't see you or hear you, please don't walk back to the cart cuz you decided to switch clubs. I guess it goes back to my days working as a caddie, no matter who is swinging, I'll stop and watch. For safety and to help find the ball later I guess.

I play ready golf. Common sense and good etiquette are the rule. I hate to play a round in more than 3 1/2 hrs. We usually play at a good clip. None of this 6-7 practice swings. One or two and then hit the d*mn ball. Who ever is ready, hit the ball! And, yes, watch your buddy's ball flight to cut down on locating a lost ball. Go to the closest ball and drop that person off with 2-3 clubs. Within 100-125 yards, take 2-3 clubs AND YOUR PUTTER. On the green I agree with most posters. Mark if your ball must be cleaned or if your ball is in or very close to someone's line. Putt out if it is in your comfort zone (1-3 feet?). Take your time if it is for an eagle or birdie!!!
