Everything You Need To
Know About Golf
But You're Afraid To Ask! (A
Beginner's Golf Guide)
An Excerpt
These beginner's rules were
not written to humiliate the
beginning golfer, they may
seem humorous but they
should be taken seriously.
Playing by the true rules of
golf means adhering to the
USGA rule book. This may be
fine for accomplished
golfers in tournaments,
leagues or in general. The
beginner, however, should
throw them out the window
and adopt these ten rules
until they have a few rounds
under their belt!
Beginner's Rules
Always Play Without Delay.
Never Look For A Ball.
Keep Up With The Group Ahead
Of You.
Bring Lots of Balls - Old
balls. Even professional
golfers occasionally lose
balls. As a beginner, you
will lose many balls. Why
use new balls? New balls
cost more and carry more
value, create a desire in
you to search for them. If
you spend time looking for
your ball every time you
lose one you will certainly
hold up play. Because and
old ball costs little and
means nothing you may
abandon you search
immediately simply by using
old or used golf balls.
Never Look For Your Ball
- If you hit a ball in the
water, long grass, or in the
woods, drop another ball as
close as possible to where
you believe the original
ball was lost.
Take Only One Practice
Swing - Nothing is more
time consuming than a novice
taking one practice swing
after another while everyone
on the course waits.
Always Play With
Experienced Golfers - If
you are going to learn the
game, why not spend what
little golfing time you have
with someone who you can
emulate and copy? Playing
with other beginners in the
first stage of learning may
contribute to a host of
problems including bad swing
habits, improper behavior,
poor etiquette, etc.
Ask For Advice -
Illegal under the guidelines
of the USGA, but as as a
beginner you should solicit
as much information as you
can from your playing
partners.
Play Ready Golf - The
USGA rules direct players to
play in order according to
who has the "honor." The "honor"
is awarded to the player
scoring the lowest on a
hole, allowing him/her to
play first off of the next
tee. The "honor" then goes
to the person furthes from
the hole after all have hit
off of the tee. Beginner's
rules allow you to hit when
ready. The only stipulation
to remember concerns the
safety of the other players.
Never hit a golf ball with
anyone in front of you
drawing a line perpendicular
through your ball with the
line you're intending to
hit.
Don't Play Out Of Bunkers
- Time is the issue.
Many beginners walk into a
bunker and slash at the ball
10 times. They trample all
over the bunker and then
take 15 minutes to rake it
smooth. Beginner rules allow
you to rake the ball out of
the bunker and chip or pitch
instead of blast. Penalty -
none.
Don't Keep Score -
You're not playing by the
real rules (USGA) anyway ...
why count? Instead, keep it
basic. Try for an
occassional par or bogey on
a hole - don't worry about
the whole round.
Don't Play the Ball As It
Lies - You'll have
enough trouble if you tee it
up. So give yourself and
those behind you a break,
play preferred lies - roll
the ball into a good lie up
on top of the best clump of
grass you can find!
Don't Use Your Driver
- The driver is the least
lofted club in the bag. Most
beginners have trouble
getting the ball airborne
with the 5 iron let alone
the driver. Tee off with
your 3 wood if you like or
with your 5 iron if you hit
it better than the driver or
3 wood.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many new golfers are
intimidated or embarrassed
to pursue golf because they
do not have the knowledge or
understanding of the proper
manners required during the
play of the game. These
manners and customs have
been passed down through the
years and are known as
etiquette.
Etiquette
- When another player is
making a stroke do not move,
talk, or stand close to him
or her, until after they
have executed their shot.
- Do not play until the
group in front of you is out
of the way.
- Always keep play at a
steady pace - leave the
putting green as soon as all
the players in your group
have holed out.
- When a group behind you is
playing faster than you are,
your first option should be
to speed up your pace. Every
other group on the course
behind you must wait while
you allow the following
group to pass by you. If you
do fall behind, and you
can't catch up to the group
ahead of you, and you have
at least one open hole in
front of you, only then
should you allow the
following group to play
through.
- Never step on the line of
another player's putt.
- Always leave extra clubs
off of the putting surface.
Do not drop them on the
green.
- When all players have
holed out, replace the
flagstick carefully, so it
stands straight up out of
the hole. Never leave it
leaning against the edge of
the cup.
- Always treat the course as
your own: replace divots,
repair ball marks, smooth
out bunkers, pick up trash,
report damage, etc. In
general, leave the course in
the condition in which you'd
like to find it.

norske spillere som klager
over at det tar 6 timer å
spille rundt en bane med
