As an aristocratic sport, golf is strictly prohibited by the rules of the game, and there are many basic rules. The following is the introduction of rules of golf that I shared. Let's have a look.
First, the basic rules of golf
Although there are many rules in golf, the most basic ones are the following two points:
1. Participants must play on fair terms.
You must be able to handle the favorable situation in the competition objectively.
Second, batting and competition.
Due to the different forms, the competition forms of golf can be divided into stroke play and competition. Stroke play is very common in both professional and amateur competitions.
① Match-hole match: Match-hole match means that the winner of a hole is the person who finishes the hole with fewer strokes, and the winner of the match is determined by each hole.
② stroke play: Winning in one or more rounds with the least number of strokes. Stroke play is used in both international and domestic competitions.
Third, politeness norms.
Pay attention to safety when swinging and playing ball to prevent injury accidents. It doesn't affect others' playing, and it doesn't waste time. The group that walks too slowly, let the latter group surpass it. After the stroke, the court should carefully repair it.
Fourth, kick-off rules
Late: If you are less than 5 minutes late, you will be fined two strokes.
Hitting order: According to the order stipulated by the organizing committee of the competition, you can also draw lots, guess fists or decide who will serve first according to your age.
Hit the ball: If the official swing fails to hit the ball, it should be counted as a stroke. The ball falls from the tee and the second shot is planned to be in the original position. The ball is put back on the tee, even on the third stroke.
Ball out of bounds: The first shot is out of bounds. You can make up after everyone has finished, but it's the third shot.
Serve and release: When serving, the ball must be placed on the tee in the service area.
Five, fairway rules
Hitting order: the player farther from the hole hits first.
Mishit: Hit someone else's ball by mistake, and get two penalty shots.
Change the ball: if the ball is broken, you can explain the change to your partner; There is no explanation that changing the ball will lead to a penalty; Secretly changing the ball, two penalty shots.
Re-select the ball position: If the golf ball hits a place where it can't be played, you can explain to your partner that the first team should be punished for taking out the ball and throwing it out of the hole within a radius of two strokes.
Find the ball: In order to confirm your ball, you hit an obstacle on the court, move the ball and get a penalty. If you can't find the ball within 5 minutes, it will be regarded as a loss. Go back to your original position and play, and get a penalty.
Others: Two strokes for breaking branches while playing ball or swinging. If the ball touches your cart or bag, you will be fined two strokes. When hitting the ball, if you hit the ball repeatedly, it counts as two strokes.
Six, obstacle zone rules
Playing bunker ball: In the bunker, when preparing to play, if the club hits the sand, it will be fined two strokes.
In order to hit the ball entering the water hazard area: If the ball enters the water hazard area, it will be punished by one stroke, and then the ball will be thrown out of the water hazard area at the tangent point. If you insist on hitting the ball in the water, you won't be deducted.
Seven, the hole area (green) rules
Wipe the ball: You can wipe the ball when it hits the hole, but you must mark the position of the ball. If you don't mark it, you will be fined one shot.
Eight, hitting order: whoever hits the ball far from the hole, who hits first.
Obstruction: balls that hinder others from playing can be picked up, but they should be marked. There are leaves on the push line that can be taken away, but there are spikes on the push line that cannot be sorted out. When the ball pushed by others is still moving, do something to hit your own ball and punish two.
Hole entry: In the official stroke play, every hole must be hit by the batter, otherwise you will be disqualified.
Touching someone else's ball: When playing golf on the green, if you touch someone else's ball on the green, you should put it back (if both people's balls are on the green, the batter will be fined two strokes).
Introduction of golf competition knowledge;
By r &；; Rules of golf, which is formulated and promulgated by A and the American Golf Association, is a code of conduct that golfers must abide by and is updated every four years.
1 match-hole match and match-hitting match
Make an identification mark on your ball. If you can identify it, you won't lose it.
If your ball can no longer be used, you can replace it with another ball and put the replacement ball in its original position without penalty.
Count your clubs no more than 14.
It is forbidden to use any tools that can measure and measure the distance, or artificial devices or abnormal devices that help to hold the rod.
Don't ask anyone for help except your partner or caddy. Don't offer help to anyone except your partner.
In the process of playing a hole, you can practice swinging, but you must not practice hitting the ball. Between two holes, you can push or cut at close range in the hole area that has just been played or the service area of the next hole to be played this round, but you are not allowed to practice hitting the ball in the obstacle area.
2 batting sequence
In match play, the ball farthest from the hole should be played first. The winner of one hole can hit the ball on the next hole first. If a player doesn't play normally anywhere on the court, his opponent can ask him to play again.
3 tee area
If you play from outside the tee, you won't be punished. Your opponent can immediately ask the player to cancel the stroke and hit the ball again from inside the tee. In stroke play, if you hit the ball from outside the teeing ground, you will be fined two strokes, and then you must hit it again from inside the teeing ground.
(Tee-off Note: Be polite to the players in the same group in the tee-off, and always pay attention to the correct batting order. )
4 About hitting the ball
Hit the ball in the current state, and don't touch the ball unless the rules allow it.
It is forbidden to improve your ball position, swing area, line of play or line of play extending through the hole by moving, bending or destroying any growth or fixture, unless this happens in the process of taking a posture or swinging. Don't press anything. It is forbidden to create or occupy places.
If your ball is in a bunker or water obstacle area, it is forbidden to touch the ground or water in the obstacle area before swinging down. It is not allowed to put the club on the ground in the obstacle area. When the ball hits the bunker, the club head must never touch the sand when preparing to hit the ball or put the shot.
You must hit the ball correctly with the club head, and you must never push, poke or dig. If a player touches the ball more than once in a stroke, the stroke must be counted and a penalty must be added. If the player hits the wrong ball (except obstacle course), the hole will lose in the game; In stroke play, you will be punished by two strokes, and then you must hit the ball right.
Ten established rules of golf:
1, don't step on other people's push line.
For this golf etiquette, most players know and strictly abide by it. However, it should be noted that this line not only refers to the push line, but also includes the push extension line and its vicinity. So when your partner pushes, it's best to stay away from his push line and push the extension line.
Step 2 keep it secret
You need to pay special attention to this etiquette when playing the game of four people and two balls. When discussing strategies with teammates, we often ignore the surrounding situation, and the sound is likely to affect the opponent's hitting. So be sure to always pay attention to the surrounding situation.
3. Know how to make groups
Playing slowly and walking slowly, such players are particularly annoying and should be banned from entering the stadium. Everyone's time is precious. Try to cherish your time with others on the court. If you play slowly, wait for a while before hitting the ball. I suggest you let the group play fast and skip the group to save everyone's time.
4. Don't let shadows interfere with others.
When a player swings, his partner suddenly calls to deal with the emergency of the company, which is understandable and acceptable. It is unacceptable that when I stand in the position to hit the ball, suddenly a figure appears in my sight, which will drive me crazy. When others are hitting the ball, keep still and don't walk. When others put the ball on the green, please move your figure away, away from others' sight and away from others' putting line.
5, often give OK meatballs
How to drive your opponent crazy? One of the most effective ways is not to give an OK ball even when facing a two-foot putter. On the other hand, often sending OK balls will undoubtedly greatly improve the goodwill of peers. Treat others like putters.
Step 6 tip the caddy a lot
The word generosity is difficult to define. Everyone's situation is different, and the amount of tips for caddies is also different. Someone tipped the caddy $60, which is not bad, but considering that it takes four hours to play 18 hole, the amount is still a little low. More importantly, these caddies are usually high school students or college students. They go to the stadium to work part-time as caddies to earn tuition and living expenses. They need money more than you. It should be reminded that some courses need to pay caddy fees in advance. In this case, before paying the caddie, you can ask the caddie how much they get from the caddie fee on the court, and then determine the tip amount.
7. Don't help unless your partner asks.
Although it is often said that "the worst person can often give the best advice", this sentence does not apply to golf courses. On the golf course, it is very impolite to express opinions on other people's swings or pushes at will, which is even more impolite than making fun of others. If your partner asks you, you can tell him your suggestion. But if your partner doesn't ask, keep silent.
8. Remind others to "watch the ball"
On the court, personal safety is the most important. Three pushes, out of bounds and losing the ball are nothing compared with personal safety. What really ruined your beautiful afternoon was the accident on the court. Anyone who plays ball, including professional players, may miss the ball and deviate from the expected area. Therefore, we should always pay attention to the fact that when hitting the ball deviates from the expected trajectory and may hit others, we must shout "Watch the ball" to remind others to avoid it.
9. Repair the ball marker and rake the bunker.
When the green is pitted and there are many ball marks, putting will become extremely difficult. Always remember, after the ball is on the green, whether it is your own or someone else's, you must repair the ball mark. There is also a bunker, and every time you hit the ball out of the bunker, you have to rake it flat. In short, it is the responsibility of every player to maintain the good condition of the stadium.
10, pay attention to words and deeds and keep a good image.
Many players are very concerned about their scorecards. They will be happy if they hit low shots, but they will be depressed if they don't hit well. In fact, it doesn't have to be in a round of competition. Besides the result, there are many happy and memorable things. Even if you can't play well, don't be depressed. There are many worse things in life. Remember, after hitting a bad ball, you must exercise restraint, and don't have excessive words and deeds that affect your image in front of others. This is more important than any rules of golf. Everyone likes to associate with educated people and avoid uneducated people.
What should I wear to play ball?
Since it is a gentleman's movement, it is necessary to have the image of a gentleman. There are special rules for playing golf, which is a part of golf culture passed down in the long-term historical development. Therefore, whether at home or abroad, if it's the first time to play in a certain stadium, it's best to make a phone call first to ask if the club has any special regulations on the clothes for players to play next time. General membership clubs usually require sleeveless shirts, and players are not allowed to wear too casual clothes such as T-shirts, suspenders, jeans, miniskirts and shorts. Some clubs also stipulate that you are not allowed to wear any style of shorts, while others stipulate the style and length of shorts, such as not shorter than 4 inches above the knee, so cotton casual pants are always the most suitable choice. As for golf shoes, at present, in order to protect the lawn, most clubs stipulate that only special plastic spikes can be worn on the court. If your sneakers are still old-fashioned metal spikes, please definitely consider replacing plastic spikes or buying a spare pair. Another way to choose suitable clothes is to watch professional golf matches on TV, appreciate the superb skills of professional stars and pay more attention to their dressing methods. Maybe our skills are not good enough, but at least we can catch up with professional players in image.
Book the service time and arrive on time.
Be sure to book the time of playing in advance, which is beneficial to the management and operation of the club and provides convenience for yourself and other members. In addition, punctuality is one of the necessary qualities for golfers. The service hours of the club, especially on weekends and holidays, are very tight, and it is impossible to delay the whole departure time because of the lateness of a certain person or group. So please arrive at the clubhouse at least 30 minutes before the scheduled service time, and arrive at the departure station before 10 minutes to wait for the staff to inform the kick-off. If your companion comes late and you need to wait for him to leave with you, please inform the departure desk to arrange another group for you. Pay attention to obey the arrangement of the club departure desk at any time. If you have any comments, you can complain to the club in time and properly. At no time can you interfere with the management of the club and the order of other members to play, and kick off forcibly.
Please turn off your cell phone on the court.
Try to avoid carrying pagers and cell phones when playing ball. If you must carry it, please turn off the bell before you leave. Imagine that it would be rude if your mobile phone rang loudly when other players were playing on the swing. When you use your mobile phone on the court, you may not notice that other guests are swaying within the sound range, and sometimes even unconsciously cause others' unhappiness. Now that we have arrived at the stadium, why not just forget the office affairs for a while, turn off the mobile phone and let yourself and your companions enjoy the surrounding scenery and the fun of swinging.
Use the locker room
Usually clubs have dressing rooms and lockers for players to use, and most of them are free. Please make full use of these facilities if you need to change clothes before playing. Even if you just change a pair of shoes, please go to the fitting room. We often see players changing their shoes and socks in public in the parking lot, club hall, starting station and even 1 tee for convenience, which is really unsightly.
Do I have to smoke on the court?
If you are a heavy smoker, you can't control your addiction even if you play ball, so it's best to ask other golfers in the same group in advance if it's acceptable. In most cases, they will have no problem, but asking in advance will show respect for others. At the same time, you should always remember to keep the stadium clean and don't throw cigarette butts everywhere. Stuff out cigarette butts and throw them into garbage baskets set up in the service area or other places on the court. If you can't find the garbage basket on the court, please collect it with garbage bags prepared in advance and take it back to the club after playing the ball. Please don't smoke on the green. I think you should wait patiently for a while.
Arrange entourage
If you are the boss of a company and need to be accompanied by a driver or other staff every time you go to the club, please ask the relevant matters in advance and take care of the entourage to abide by the rules of the club. Most clubs have special areas for drivers to rest and eat. However, when the club does not have such facilities and you need drivers or entourage to wait at the club, you should remind them to pay attention to their appearance and behavior in advance. We often meet a single entourage. When they are waiting in the clubhouse, some of them doze off in the lobby, and some of them talk loudly on their mobile phones like no one's watching, which is not only unsightly, but also disrespectful to other members and guests and affects the image of the clubhouse. In addition, if you need entourage to accompany you off the stage, even if you don't play ball, they must dress according to the rules of the club. In order to control the flow of people in the stadium, most clubs will charge escort fees, so please pay them according to the regulations.
Be an advocate of etiquette
Many players always complain about meeting unruly companions. They make a lot of noise on the court, serve out of order, or step on someone else's ball line when pushing the ball, which affects others' playing mood. In fact, in most cases, it is not that the other party deliberately opposes you, but because they are just getting started and lack understanding of etiquette. Even some old players may unwittingly make actions that are not etiquette and affect their peers' playing. If someone can give them timely advice, I believe most people are willing to accept and correct it. Therefore, if one of your fellow golfers is unfamiliar with golf etiquette, you should raise it with him in time and pay attention to adopting a friendly way, which will benefit both sides.
In a word, as a guest of golf club, we should first pay attention to our words and deeds, abide by the rules of the club and be a model member or guest. Only in this way can you become the most popular guest among employees and get special courtesy and service anywhere. Even if your playing level is not high, you can become the hottest playing partner.
Golf etiquette
Golf is famous for paying attention to etiquette in so many fitness activities, which shows that it attaches importance to interests. Even if you play well, you can't win the respect of the people on the court by being rude. So it can be seen that when playing golf, we must pay attention to etiquette. Now let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to in order to become an elegant golfer.
1. Before hitting the ball or swinging, make sure that no one is standing near or far from where the ball may hit, and check whether there are stones, pebbles, branches, etc. Put it on the ground so as not to hurt others when the swing touches a fly.
2. When the opponent hits the ball, don't wander behind, or observe the hitting route with nails, and don't make a loud noise to hinder the opponent.
3. The players in the front group are not allowed to hit the ball from the group when they are not out of the ball distance, and they should slow down when they approach the front group.
4. When your former group of golfers restore the used fairways, greens and bunkers to their original state, which will not affect your hitting, you will finish the 18 hole happily and smoothly.
When the hit ball is hard to find, you should immediately make a gesture to let the players behind you pass first. When the time to find the ball is less than five minutes, this gesture should be made, and the latter group of players can continue to hit the ball and stay away from the falling distance when passing by.
For golf, behavior is very important. Pay attention to physical development when practicing. I believe that as long as you keep practicing and become proficient, you can become a real golfer, so you must remember to cheer for yourself at all times and practice your golf skills and etiquette more in peacetime, so that you can give full play to your strengths on the court.
