On courses that apply the 90-degree rule, players must follow a specific path when driving a golf cart.

• The rule explained: You must drive your cart along the cart path and then turn at a 90-degree angle to reach your ball.
• Why it exists: The rule protects the fairway turf from excessive cart traffic and wear.
• When it applies: Always check the scorecard or ask the pro shop whether the 90-degree rule is in effect.
• Practical tip: Always return via the same perpendicular line to keep cart traffic consistent across the fairway.

Knowing these guidelines is part of being a courteous and knowledgeable golfer on any course.

The average cost of golf lessons in Canberra is around $80/h.

Several factors influence the price:

• Your current level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The instructor's credentials and coaching track record

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons.

Based on the Pareto Principle, the 80/20 rule helps golfers practise smarter by identifying what really moves the needle.

• Short game priority: Around 60–70% of golf shots happen within 100 metres of the hole, so improving your short game delivers the most scoring benefit.
• Swing mechanics: Identify the one or two swing flaws causing the most missed shots and fix those first rather than overhauling everything.
• Pre-shot routine: The 20% investment in a reliable routine pays dividends across every shot you play.
• Course strategy: Smart decision-making on just a few key holes each round can shave several shots off your total.

Working smarter, not harder, is the key — and the 80/20 rule gives you a clear framework to do exactly that.
