Golf Rules and Regulations

On the tee, always stand opposite of the player who is teeing off. When you're playing your shot, make sure are opposite you, too. If they're behind you, or at right angles to you, there is, at worst, the danger of hitting someone with a backswing, or at best, it can implant the notion someone might get hit - which is the last thing you should, or need to be thinking about.

You are allowed a reasonable amount of time to reach the ball, and then ten seconds from that point. If you take an excessive amount of time you can be penalised so be careful.

There is no official limit, however, common sense prevails, you will never see a hole cut on a severe slope, as it would be next to impossible to hole.

This came from Brent Kelly of About.com:golf. I hope this answers your question. "If the ball is on the teeing ground and you have not yet made a stroke at the ball, then the ball is not yet in play. And accidentally hitting the ball with a practice swing in that situation does not result in a stroke or a penalty. However, once you've made a stroke at the ball on the teeing ground, the ball is considered in play until you hole out. Then the question of whether a practice swing that makes contact is a stroke or penalty (or both) is covered under Rule 18, "Ball at Rest Moved." And here's the ruling: If you accidentally move a ball in play with a practice swing, it's a one-stroke penalty. You must replace the ball to its original position and play it correctly. Failing to replay the ball from its original position results in a total penalty of two strokes in stroke play or loss of hole in match play."

easy find it out your self like i care

You have made the distinction between, in the hazard and outside of the hazard, because of course, you can not ground your club in a hazard. If you address the ball but step away and take a practice swing there is no problem. You only incur a penalty if you knock the ball with the club and it moves. Also, a stroke is only deemed to have taken place if you make a genuine attempt to hit the ball.

No.

you can't they are super natural

yes

Modern driving ranges use 15 to 17 acres, compared to 10 to 12 acres a decade ago. Increased distance suggests driving ranges should be longer than 300 yards. For divot recovery, tees should be 45 to 60 yards deep. If tees are at both ends, total range length should exceed 400 yards.

For a round of golf- one under. For a given hole- a birdie.

Two shot penalty.

Loss of hole in match play

Yes,but if it is a "chipper with 2 faces this counts as 2 clubs in your bag and some are banned

Currently, if you are allowed to use a GPS device in the competition, then yes, you may use it on a phone. However, the rules are likely to change on this in the next couple of years.

The PGA Tour and the Champions Tour recognizes Course Records even though lift, clean and place rules were in effect.

Yes, it is part of your equipment.

There is no set rule, check with your own club or the one that you are playing on. At my club, greens staff have priority until 10.30 am. If you are playing before this time, and they drive up to cut the green, you just wait. However, after this time on a busy course someone will inevitably have to wait while they cut the greens/ fairways etc. A good rule of thumb, is show them some respect, they are working to make the course better for you, if you respect them, they will respect you, and maybe even let you go ahead.

In the amateur game, not every one would have or have access to a buggy therefore it would be seen as an advantage over some players.

In the professional game, with the huge crowds having buggies would just not be possible.

System 36 is a method of creating handicaps on the same day of an 18-hole tournament. Most frequently used in friendly tournaments where many of the players don't have official handicaps. The method used is as follows. At the end of play, a tally is made of each players round, counting up the number of holes scoring par or better, the number scoring a bogey and the number scoring double bogey or more. Then each par or better receives 2 points, each bogey receives 1 point and each double bogey or worse receives 0 points. The points are added up and subtracted from 36. This is the handicap for the player. For example, if you par every hole, you will receive a point total of 2 x 18 = 36. Subtracting from 36 gives you a handicap of 0. Another example. A golfer completed the following round:
Hole 1 - par
Hole 2 - bogey
Hole 3 - birdie
Hole 4 - triple bogey
Hole 5 - bogey
Hole 6 - bogey
Hole 7 - double bogey
Hole 8 - bogey
Hole 9 - par
Hole 10 - double bogey
Hole 11 - double bogey
Hole 12 - par
Hole 13 - bogey
Hole 14 - double bogey
Hole 15 - triple bogey
Hole 16 - par
Hole 17 - bogey
Hole 18 - par Total at end of round:
par or better = 6 x 2 = 12
bogeys = 6 x 1 = 6
double bogeys or worse = 6 x 0 = 0 Total points = 18 Handicap = 36 - 18 = 18 Gross = 91
Net = 73

No,I can t

You need to be careful in this situation, if you hit the branch but do not break it or dislodge something it is fine. If you do break the branch or dislodge it you will incur a penalty.

Two shot penalty, he must replace his ball and then you must play your own.

If you drop it and it rolls back into the water, you take another free drop, if this rolls back into the water you place the ball where it touched the ground on the second drop. Remember, no nearer the hole.
