Golf Rules Plain & Simple [antikvár]

ForewordPlaying by the rules of the game is an integral part of the competition on the PGA TOUR.Golf may be unique in the fact that players throughout the world play by the same rules as written and defined by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.While the PGA TOUR, as is the case with any other tournament-organizing body, retains the right to make rules specific to its own competitions, we support the USGA and the R A in their role as the rules arbiters of the game.The rules officials on the PGA TOUR are there to assist our players on the PGA TOUR, and it is not unusual for a player to call a penalty on himself for any breach of the rules. It is one of the traditions of the game that sets golf apart from other sports.It is unlikely that you have a rules expert to assist you in playing by the rules all the time, so we hope that this bookwritten by PGA TOUR Tournament Official Mark Russell and veteran golf writer John Andrisaniwill help your understanding of the rules and how you can apply them in tournament situations or in casual play with your friends.
