They take their hats off to acknowledge and thank the crowd after a shot or at the conclusion of their round.

There are two parts to this answer..The PGA Tour wants to protect the photographic images of its players, but more to the point, people shooting cameras at a golf tournament are a distraction to the competitors.\n\nEven professional photographrs, who are covering tournaments on assignment, must follow strict guidelines about when and where they can take photos. Allowing untrained individuals to take pictures at an event would create all kinds of distractions and remember, in golf, the players don't have guaranteed contracts.

This has happened to me a few times. \n\nThe "thing" loose inside the head is a piece of the epoxy broken off and just rattling around in there. It won't hurt anything, it's just kind of annoying. \n\nBack in the old days I drilled a small hole in the back of my driver and shot some expanding foam in there....that worked then, however I don't think it will work now. \n\nYou can take it to a PGA pro and they can take the head off and shake out your little rascal, but my advice would be to just leave it in there and keep on slappin it!

It's called a sleeve.  Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson and Lebron James and some other players wear them too.  They are used to keep muscles warm to prevent injury.  Lately though, ever since Kobe started to wear them, a lot of players wear them and it is now considered more fashion than a safety precaution and they will probaly be banned from the league next season.

to protect their heads so they could reach the target.

Those annoying birds are probably American Coots.\n\nIn southern California the golf courses have a history of hiring a hunter to remove the birds when they become a problem.

The only people that have to salute the flag are active military personnel.  What bothers me is when people don't respect the flag by not removing their hats during the National Anthem(rednecks at NASCAR races).  People who think it's part of the freedom of speech to desecrate the flag( i.e. burning it, defecating on it, etc.).

It's for padding, heat and sunscreen. Seriously. I'm not kidding. The padding is so if you fall, you have something to protect your head. (a small fall)

When you are inside take it off.  Not much simpler than that.\n\nUnless they serve a purpose such as shade, protection or keeping warm they are useless.  Why bother wearing it sideways, backwards or upside down ?  It only makes you look like a ridiculous dimwitted fool !!!!!!

To take the shirt off, either totally or partially, and then raise it up with one hand is a sign of love for the team or the country, which is represented by the shirt itself. After the ban, players used to wear undershirts with special dedications written thereon. Now this practice has also been forbidden and it is punished with a yellow card, as a warning.\n\nThe kissing is optional as this is a cultural custom, depending upon the nationality of the players. Now, the embracing is universal and it is a rite that demonstrates team work and solidarity.

True,most men don't remove their hats at the table and they should regardless of what year it is. Proper etiquette never goes out of style.

You are drooping your shoulder or pushing down with your right arm.  The best thing to do is go to www.playgolfamerica.com and sign up for a free golf lesson from local PGA pro or go to www.pga.com improve your game section and take a look at the swing section

because they haven't tried it?? golf isn't really an everyday type of sport that is easily mastered..(let alone one that u grow up with)...it's also because it's what i call a "quite" sport, for many the definition of sport includes beer, loud chearing and chearleaders...

A "chip in" is a holed shot that occurs beyond the putting surface. (green). No matter how or where the ball is holed, the player should always retreive the ball with their hands, even if the flagstick is still there. If you pull the flag to get the ball out, you run the risk of damaging the cup, of which takes several weeks to repair itself, and in the meantime doesn't make it very enjoyable for any goler playing after you---pure ettiquette. If the ball is on the putting surface and the ball is holed with the flagstick in without it being tended and pulled before being holed...penalty.
