The golf Rules

By: ilker Billurcu

The golf is one disciplined sport hour from numerous rules, apparently complicated: having to preview several situations of game (on which they influence morphology of the fields, situations acclimatize them, advantages assign to the players (the so-called the "handicaps"), materials to disposition, types of competition) the rules of the golf are modernized and published with four-year cadence edited by agencies you premail ("Governing Body"): for Europe it is the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A), in Scozia; for the area American the United States Golf Association (USGA).

The importance to know the rules for a player of golf is maximum: draft probably of the only sport in which everyone he is arbitrator of same himself, and therefore honesty and respect must make part of the baggage of every golfista. Moreover, procedures exist to follow in order not to incur in determined penalties or simply in order to take advantage of just favor situations.

Here because a examination of the rules is demanded, to support near one of the circles recognized from the Federation. Beyond to game rules they are necessary rules of label.

During the development of the official contests, more than of the true and own wills there are of the observatories. Every contender is held in practical to autocontrollarsi. In case of controversies one appeals to us to an appropriate committee, whose main scope is that one to make to know to the players what previews the rules in the specific case.

And rules destined do not lack to discourage the slow game, than indeed they go man hand inasprendo with increasing of practicing: as an example to play "a temporary" ball when it is probable that the own one has gotten lost, waves to avoid to lose time in the search.

Mainly two types of game are distinguished. In the game to holes a point is assigned to the player who concludes the hole in minor the number of blows (held account of the handicap, of the penalties and the abatements) and the winner is R-he who to the term of the distance has gained more holes. In the game to blows the winner is the contender who has covered the entire turn in minor the number of blows (always having held account of the handicap, the penalties and the abatements).

The regulations discipline moreover in enough rigorous way the tools use you from the players: if from a part the new technologies allow to realize more and more sophisticated and performanti maces and balls, from the other the rules taxes are made more and more restittive, but always in the spirit to compete in way "fair".

But it has not been always therefore, indeed he is much probable one that the golfisti in order at least 300 years have practically played without written rules much simple one were "the their" game that were distinguished from other games of "mazze/bastoni and balls" only for the fact that had to be concluded with the ball enfilade within one hole. The introduction of the written rules carried a minimum of order but of sure such rules they were mutuate from others between which in all probability there were those of a French game said "Jeu de Mail".
