How do I politely ask a fellow golfer to let me play through?

If you find yourself in a situation where you want to play through, approach the group with a friendly smile and say something like, 'Excuse me, would you mind if we played through?' This sets a positive tone. • Make sure to choose an appropriate moment, like when they're getting ready for a shot or just finished a hole, to avoid interrupting their game.

A respectful approach goes a long way.
