6 Important Basic Golf Rules!
Here are 6 basic golf rules that are very important when playing the game of golf. They are easy to learn and will help you play and enjoy the game of golf much more.
1) Order Of Play.
The player who tees off first has the “honors”. In other words, the player who scored the lowest score on the previous hole. If it is the first hole, you can decide amongst yourselves or toss a coin. On the fairway or green, the player who is furthest from the green or hole goes first.
2) Teeing Off.
When teeing off, you have to place the ball between the two markers and never in front of them. You can stand outside of the teeing area to hit a ball that is inside, but you can’t move the markers if they are in your way.
3) Once Ball Is In Play.
When the ball is in play (after teeing off), you are not allowed to touch or move the ball until it is holed out. The exceptions being; on the green you can mark your ball to clean it before putting; when taking a drop, you have to lift your ball; or you have hit the ball out of bounds and you remove the ball.
4) Water Hazard Or Out Of Bounds.
If you hit your ball into a water hazard or out of bounds, you must play another ball from the designated drop zone or from a position any distance behind the hazard (including the original position of where your ball was) but no closer to the hole – you will be penalized a stroke.
5) Golf Club Rules.
The maximum number of clubs that you are allowed to carry is fourteen. There is nothing to say that you can’t have two drivers or two different types of putter, just that the total number of clubs is limited to fourteen.
6) On The Fairway.
When on the fairway or especially in the rough or amongst trees, you can remove loose twigs and leaves from around your ball but the ball must not move when doing so.
