Top 9 Rules for success steps in Golf
The object of the game is to get your ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible.
Rules of Golf
Golf is one of the
oldest sports in the world and in this game, a golfer uses a selection of
clubs, (which are these things here) to hit a ball into a hole which is denoted
by a flag.
1.A typical hole looks like this, with different terrain
and obstacles to make it challenging to play. To start, a golfer must have the
correct equipment. Each player must use golf balls that they can identify as
their own and usually they mark the ball with a pen or a marker.
2.A golfer is
allowed no more than 14 clubs in his bag. If they are found with more than 14,
a two shot penalty is added to the first hole. The game starts at the first
hole.
3.A player will start by hitting their golf ball within two
club lengths behind the markers. The aim of this first shot is to hit the ball
as close to the hole as possible. Once they have completed their shot, it’s
their opponents turn to do the same.
4.In Golf, it is customary for the person who is furthest
from the hole to make the next shot. Players alternate shots until both players
have put their balls into the hole.
The amount of strokes it took to sink the ball is recorded,
and then they move onto the next hole. The golden rule of golf is that you must
play the ball as it lies. You cannot move the ball or the environment around it
to create a better shot for yourself.
5.Doing so will result in a two stroke penalty. A game is
typically played over 9 or 18 holes. The player who completes the course in the
fewest amount of strokes … wins.
The beauty about Golf is that no two holes are exactly
alike anywhere in the world. Every golf course is different and each one is
designed to make it challenging to get the ball into the hole.
6.There are obstacles such as water hazards, bunkers,
roughs and surroundings that make it an interesting challenge. Golfers use
different clubs to achieve different types of precision shots to combat these
obstacles. That’s basically all you need to know initially, but there’s a few
rules that you’ll also need to know before playing or watching Golf
For example. Par
Each hole has an average number of shots that a typical golfer should complete
it in, based on difficulty and length. This is known as the ‘par’ of the hole. Depending on how you
performed on the hole determines how your shot is designated.
7.This table makes
it easy for you to identify the relevant golfing terminology given your
performance. For example, if you manage to sink the ball in one stroke fewer
than par, this is known as a birdie. One stroke more than par is known as a
bogey etc.
8.Hole in One If you
manage to hit your ball into the hole on the very first shot, this is known as
a hole in one. Hole in ones are typically shot on holes with a Par of 3, as
they are generally shorter than other holes. Penalty A penalty is an extra
stroke that is added to your score. This is usually awarded in the following
situations. Ball unplayable Sometimes it’s not possible to play a shot because
of where the ball has landed.
If this happens, you
must declare the ball unplayable and you have the following three options. In
any case, this carries a one stroke penalty. Water Hazard There are two types
of water hazard surrounding a golf course.
9.If you hit your ball into the water, this will incur a
one stroke penalty. Without going into two much detail, here’s what you can do
with each type of hazard. Bunker These are the pits of sand that are usually
near the green where the hole is situated.
Balls that land in the bunker are difficult to play. You
cannot disrupt the sand prior to hitting the ball, and you cannot remove
natural objects such as twigs, or grass from the bunker. Lost Ball Sometimes
you cannot find your ball.
If you cannot find your ball within 5 minutes, this is
known as a lost ball you must go back to where you hit previous shot and play
the shot again.
This also carries a
one stroke penalty. If you have found this video at all helpful, be sure to
