Golf Rules and Regulations

Golfers putt without a glove to ehance the feel of the putter. Putting is all about feel and it helps increase your feel on the club when putting the ball. Also, a glove is to help with gripping the club. You don't have a wild downward motion on a putt like you do swinging a club.

Its punishable by death....so i sugest you high tail it over to mexico!

Disqualification

Check with the competition committee as they may have specific rules or a time limit. Interestingly the rules of golf have no time limit, they state the card should be handed in 'as soon as possible.'

In normal play, you may mark your ball, clean it and then replace the ball in it's original spot- but only when you are on the putting green. In the winter, some winter rules come into effect, these are things like lift clean and place or lift clean and drop. These winter rules vary from club to club, so you should check the rules in place before you start your round.

According to Snapple Fact #154, "Americans spend more than $630 million a year on golf balls."

there are 12 rules in table tennis

Depending on manufacturer your average name brand iron set degree of loft is as follows;

3 iron 21* of loft { The higher the # the higher the ball goes

4 iron 24 *{ The lower the # the further the ball goes

5 ----27 { * represents degree }

6-----30 *

7-----33 *

8-----37 *

9-----41 *

pw=pitching wedge any where from 45* to 48*

You'll have to check local rules, it varies from course to course.

Usually if it is defined as a path you are entitled to a free drop, if it is an integral part of the course then you have to play the ball as it lies.

Yes, this is perfectly legal. The problem though arises as they are quite hard to see and trickier to find than white ones. Paula Creamer uses a pink Precept Golf ball on Sundays on the LPGA Tour. In 2005 or so Nike made a black 'Nike One Black' golf ball which was used by one golfer on the 18 th hole in a PGA Tour event, he said he could hardly see it once he hit it and said he'd never use it again. These black golf balls were one off golf balls which were included in a dozen box of Nike One Black golf balls.

There is no specific time (per se). In the gentleman's game, under the rules, you have five minutes to locate and identify your ball (after teeing off). Failure to do so incurs a penalty for lost ball which is stroke and distance. Therefore, you may have to return to the tee (more than once) if you keep losing golf balls. HOWEVER, stroke play is usually reserved for better golfers (and pros), where a lost ball and its required search is the exception rather than the rule. In amateur play, most games are "match play", and a gentleman would pick up and concede the loss of hole rather than subject everyone to repeated searches.

Now, having set the example, please understand that at your local muni course, unless you are playing in a match (which should require you to have established a handicap), all other golf rounds are considered "practice" and therefore outside the purview of the rules.

If you tried to use the "five minute" rule for several shots, you might be "mob attacked" by following golfers that you are delaying. It's prudent to take a drop in the vicinity that you feel your ball ended up.

At public courses, you have a responsibility to the course and to other golfers, OVER AND ABOVE the rules, especially if you are not playing a match.

Tournaments (outings) often have special rules like making one pick up for double par on a hole that they exceeded the maximum (par x 2) strokes. All of this is keep one from taking too long to play!

So common sense dictates that 15 minutes per hole (per foursome) would be fair and complete your round in 4 1/2 hours - that is the general course guideline for munis.

Lead tape is perfectly legal, as long as it is on the club when you begin the round, and when you finish. If you took it off during the round or added it during the round you would be changing the playing characteristics of the club which is against the rules.

SYSTEM 36 System 36 is a method of handicapping a tournament when many competitors simply don't carry a true handicap issued by a recognized authority. This particular handicapping method is popular in the Asia Pacific region and finds use in corporate outings and benefit tournaments. System 36 generates a temporary handicap for use just during that event. Here is how it works: For each player, assign "handicap reduction points" for each hole as follows: RESULT POINTS DOUBLE EAGLE 2 EAGLE 2 BIRDIE 2 PAR 2 BOGEY 1 DOUBLE BOGEY 0 TRIPLE EAGLE 0 Those figures are not misprinted! Everything better than a bogey receives precisely two points. Everything worse than a bogey receives no points. Subtract the point total for each player from 36. The result is that player's number of handicap strokes for the round. Apply handicap strokes as you would normally depending upon the competition format. Click here to learn how to distribute handicap strokes during Stableford play. Generally, System 36 is used in Stroke Play and Stableford formats only.
Stableford competitions tend to encourage risky play because big mistakes are not penalized as harshly as good results are rewarded. However, this feature of Stablefords is nullified when System 36 is employed. System 36 rewards players who shoot birdies and penalizes players who shoot triple-bogeys or worse. For stroke play competitions, it makes no difference whether a player shoots a par, bogey or double-bogey on a hole because System 36 renders those results all the same. You need birdies or better while simultaneously avoiding triple-bogeys or worse to win a System 36 in stroke play. System 36 This system is ideal for tournaments with fields of players with average skills. The handicap is determined in two steps. First, for every hole scored par or better, 2 points are added and for every bogey, 1 point is added. Second, the total number of points is subtracted from 36, yielding the adjustment for the round. With the maximum adjustment of 36, novice golfers will not be competitive. Par 4 4 3 5 4 4 5 3 4 4 3 5 4 4 3 4 5 4 4 72 Score 4 6 4 5 3 5 3 3 5 6 5 6 4 4 3 6 4 4 5 84 Points 2 0 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 0 0 1 2 2 2 0 2 2 1 25 In this System 36 example, subtract 25 from 36 to yield the adjustment of 11. The net score for the round is 84-11 = 73.

There is no requirement that the ball be removed, but it is considered good golf etiquette. As pointed out by one commentator, why deprive someone of that glorious sound of a ball hitting the bottom of the cup after all the hazards, mulligans and lost balls?

What do you mean by position? In golf you are not allowed to improve your lie or build yourself a stance.

If you are playing a stableford competition you would just wait for your group to finish the hole and then go to the next tee. However, if you are playing a stroke competition you must return to the tee, unless you have already played a provisional from the tee. If you didn't play a provisional and do not go back to the tee you shall have an NR non returned score.

Have every player submit 10-20 of their most recent rounds (preferably on the course where the golf league will be held).

Then, find the average between the scores given. That average number, minus 72 (or whatever par is on the course) is the persons handicap.

make sense?

Best Ball involves playing more than one ball (either alone or with a team). You decide which is, say, the best drive, and everyone plays from that spot. The same goes for the next shot, and so forth. A good strategy is to hit a safe shot, and then try the risky or stupid shots. You can always hit from the safe spot.

Yes, you definitely have the ability, you just need to take your game to the next level by playing and practicing loads and loads. You should consider things such as running and weight lifting etc to get you in good shape. Most golfers turn pro when they achieve a handicap of around +3 - +5.

They sound like a bunch of idiots to be honest. The tee markers should not be moved at all during a competition. They should not even be moved to cut the grass as the grass should have been cut before play begins. I would put in a complaint, because all the competitors were not playing the same hole, even if it was a minor change.

Yes, you are allowed to do this. It is one of the biggest misconceptions in golf. You are not allowed to improve your stance or lie, so if the footprints are on the other side of the bunker it is fine to rake them. However, since most people are unsure of this rule you may want to leave it until you play your shot as to not raise any questions. As I said, it is perfectly legal to do what your question asked.
