Golf Rules

If you didn't already know, the point of the game is to hit/play the ball with your clubs and try to get the golf ball into the hole with as few strokes (aka shots) as possible. This is done without influencing the ball (or course) in any way outside the general rules of the game (2 stroke penalty if you do).

We have looked over the official golf rules and regulations and are going to summarize them as best possible so that you don't have to waste time reading all the obscure and not as important ones. Hopefully these simple rules of golf will make it easy for you.

That being said, all the rules for playing golf are important, and if you want to truly honour the game, you will learn them all with time.

We have also added an interpretation of the rules, or the easy way for beginners to handle the rules so as to speed the game along, and keep it fun while still learning the do's and don'ts of the game.
