Starter
Common Phrases
Explained Simply
A course employee stationed at the first tee who sends groups off in order and manages tee time flow.
Example
“After check-in, the starter says 'Group 3, you're on the tee at 9:04.' Follow their instructions.”
Why it matters
The starter is your first point of contact on the course. Be friendly and listen — they'll give you tips and keep things running smoothly.
Common beginner mistake
Walking onto the first tee without checking in with the starter — you may be out of order or missing your group.
