I would assume you are talking about watching him when he golfs in tournaments or matches. That would be the only time you be allowed to watch really. So based on that assumption, here are some tips for you.
First of all, speak to him only if he speaks to you. Golf takes a lot of concentration. Between shots he is thinking about the shot he just hit and the next one. He's not there to chit chat.
Second, golf is all about etiquette. You don't touch a ball on the ground. You try to avoid any that come at you. You don't talk much. Whispers only please and not when someone is getting ready to hit a shot.
Third, keeping score is a good way to help keep you interested and follow what he does. If you get good at it, he may use your scorecard to keep statistics for himself. That will help him practice and improve his game.
Fourth, wear comfortable shoes and clothing. The day will be long and so will the walking. Don't forget sunblock and something to drink.
Lastly, you should check with him to see if he even wants you to come out there. If he doesn't, it's not that he doesn't like/love you. It's that he will be focused and not thinking about you or the crowd. Or, he knows how boring it can be for someone who isn't into golf and is sparing you. He should get big points from you for that.
A little something extra. He doesn't come see you cheer because he's into the sport or even thinks it's cool. It's because you are doing it in a cheerleading outfit and he can brag that you are his g/f.
Enjoy!

I'm sure their are things your boyfriend wants you to do but you don't like to! Why don't you use that as an example while asking him to play golf with you. If it's a passion to you he should understand your love of the game and want to share the insight that you see in it! he may be worried that he isn't going to be very good and you are going to show him up. Men and their bruised egos when a girl is better than them at something, especially sport! Tell him you will teach him, not laugh or make fun. Give him some lessons for his birthday! Or ask him if he would want a few lessons to get the right swing etc and then play with you so he won't feel as down when you beat him! Say that you would love to play golf with him, no one else, and explain how much it would mean to you! Happy golfing!!

You shouldn't feel obligated to watch him, golf isn't that type of game. But, if you are planning on going and watching him play, there are a few "rules" to adhere to.
1. Don't talk to him at all, unless he comes up to you.
2. Keep up with his group and stand off the fairway. Staying on the cart path is a good idea.
3. Don't clap, don't say "good shot honey", don't console him if he screws up. Golf doesn't have cheerleaders.
4. Turn off your cell. Don't even text. And plan on being pretty bored.
5. The last thing he wants is to be distracted, so don't be surprised if he doesn't want you there at all. Remember it doesn't mean he doesn't love you.
He just loves golf more.

No, the first thing you need to know is that spectators aren't allowed on the golf course for free. If you want to pay the green fee you can go and watch or play but not for free as a spectator. Their liability insurance doesn't allow spectators. I don't think he would want you watching anyway. It's not the same as him watching you and the other girls cheer leading.

ok, first some basic clubs are a driver.9, 7,8,6,5.3 iron theres a pitching wedge and a sand wedge.Also a fairway driver and sometimes a hybrid. the are 18 holes and par is when u hit the exact number of strokes on the score card. 1 over par is called a bogey when u go 2 over thats a double bogey the highest u can go is a triple bogey. when u go 1 less than par thats called a birdie, and 2 less is an eagle. also when hit and miss its called a whiff, this counts as a stroke,u wanna be the one who finishes out with the least amount of strokes!

If he can hit it long and straight off the tee and then can putt on the green in no more than 2 shots...he's good, clap politely and then find a boyfriend that doesn't expect you to waste a whole day pretending to enjoy a game he knows you know nothing about.

first thing you need to know. Wear comfortable shoes. because you are going to do a lot of walking. when he tees the ball of you can pretty much tell if he hits a bad shot or not. generally his facial features and the crowd reactions are a good indicator. thats all you need to know for starters. everything thing else is self explanatory. and for a future note. you cheer after he makes his shot. and u stop before the other guys play their shots. its proper ettiquette.
