The game of golf is loved by many. For some the game is even an addiction. Here is a shortgolf guide for beginners who are interested in the game of golf.
The first thing to remember in thegolf guide is that the holes on the golf course should always be played in their proper order. One of the first things one should always remember in agolf guide is that playing by the proper rules is mandatory. No one is allowed to tamper or change the rules in anyway.
In the game of golf, each hole is a separate competition. If you win the first hole, by making the golf ball go in to the hole then, you are "one-up". However if you lose it, you are "one-down"; if the golf ball touches the hole and doesn't go in, you are "all-square."
You are winning the game of golf if you have managed to put more balls in the holes than there are left to play.
Another rule in thegolf guide is that in stroke play, the person with the lowest total score for the round is the winner. You have to make the ball go in to a hole, before you move to the next one. Your opponent is called a "fellow competitor". Always keep in mind that a play match and stroke play cannot be played together at the same time. It is forbidden to carry more than fourteen balls in your trolley at the same time. A golfer cannot change balls while playing of a hole, not until the rule gives permission to. The ball can be changed if its damaged or out of shape, by consulting with the opponent first.
One of the points that is always stressed in thegolf guide is a players responsibility. The terms that come under this responsibility is that the player should always go through the notice given by the tournament officials. Don't be late for the start up time. Mark your ball, because it is important to be able to identify your own golf ball.
