Summary: The definition of golf, as well as some basic principles.

In addition to the definition to the golf, is there a better way to start our Rules of Golf? Rule 1-1 as follows: "The game of golf from the tee area, in accordance with rules, one or more continuous batting the ball into the hole." At first glance, this is a very simple concept. However, as we know, from the tee to the hole, players have to face many different situations, so our rules up to as much as 34 entries.

1984 years ago, the rules of golf 41, Rule 1 in the above referenced those remarks. Rules to further strengthen the people some of the basic principles on the beginning of the book. Rule 1 is divided into four parts. No part of a specific area of ??the golf course or particular situation. On the contrary, they are just basic questions and the concept of reasonable play.

As mentioned earlier, golf is basically the movement of a cue ball from the teeing ground into the hole. Here the meaning is clear, players only with a club, but not otherwise affect the position of the ball or move the ball. This is the basic meaning of Rule 1-2. We may have seen this unfortunate situation, the players hit the ball in the hole edge of the spin, the fate of the players in one fell swoop, players in the hole edge of the beat to make the ground shake and the ball rolling hole in If the players beat the ball is still rolling (see Rule 16-2), this behavior is considered to affect the movement of the ball in breach of Rule 1-2. (The ball does not move if the player beating led to the movement of the ball is in breach of Rule 18-2).

The third part is that golf must act in accordance with the Rules of Golf. Players or the tournament committee can not freely choose which rules in a game. If the Commission to modify the rule, such as violation of Rule 4-4a, to allow players with more than 14 clubs, it will be punished. Them in the game rules of the problem is encountered not the United States Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews help. And if the player's own presence is a problem, such as unauthorized trimming the spikes in the scratches on the putting green, were sentenced to golf "capital punishment" - disqualified.

To enact a set of rules cover all possible is impossible, and Rule 1-4 provides that in case the rule does not require any disputed ruling will be in accordance with the principles of justice. The USGA received thousands of letters a year letterhead of the challenged rules, under different circumstances, they believe most fair answer. However, they often misuse the concept of "fair" because they do not like the results processed by the rules. Their needs is not a fair result - but "fair" results. From the rules of perspective, "fairness" is a compromise solution is neither the best nor the worst possible outcomes. In some cases, "fair" use of the concept will lead to players punished; In other cases, it is not.

Following 1-4/10 jurisprudence may be the impartial adjudication of the most famous. May change the view that the rule-making are hard-nosed people, read the following text.
