Golfing is a sport governed by numerous rules, apparently complicated: having to provide various game situations, which affect the morphology of fields, environmental situations, materials available, types of competition, the rules of golfing are updated and published every four years in collaboration between the two agencies (Governing Body): for Europe is The R & A (up to 2003 was the Royal & Ancient Golfing Club of St. Andrews), Scotland; for the United States and Mexico, the United States Golfing Association (USGA) (wheels for golf bag).
There are telescopic poles with a net or a cup at the end used to retrieve the ball in a water hazard. The rangefinders are tools to measure distances in field with precision. Using laser technology are able to measure the position of obstacles such as trees, hedges or the same flag.
In addition, there are procedures to follow to avoid penalties or simply abused by certain situations. That's why it required an examination of rules, to be supported at one of clubs recognized by the Federation. During the course of official competitions, more than real referees there are observers. Each competitor is expected to practice self-control. In case of disputes we appeal to a special committee, whose main purpose is to let players know what they expect the rules in this case.
The modern golfing, which spread widely in mid-nineteenth century, is to hit a ball hard rubber (a golfing ball) along a specific path, from a helipad (tee), placed in a hole in a finish area (the green), through a succession of shots in accordance with the rules, such as to make the players make use of a number of sticks of steel, equipped with terminals shape, weight and sizes.
Mainly there are two types of play. In game "a hole" (Match Play), you face two players: you assign a point to player who finishes the hole in least number of strokes (taking account of disability and penalties) and the winner is the one who at the end of path has won more holes. In game "to beat" (Stroke Play), the winner is the competitor who has covered the entire field in fewest strokes (always taking into account the handicap and penalties).
There is to say, however, that, at the end of thirteenth century, literacy was not widespread in Europe and particularly in Scotland. This could explain absence of written records, since it is possible that no one considers it necessary to write down references to a pastime practiced by few. The controversy over who invented the golfing has existed and will always exist. Some accuse the Scots had deliberately distorted in their favor, for reasons of patriotism, the origin of sport.
Distinguished historians claimed that golfing was invented after the founding of University of Saint Andrews, in 1413, but in support of this claim, did not bring any evidence while there is evidence that at that time golfing was played in Scotland more than a century.
In every next hole, has the honor one who ends the previous hole with the lowest score; in case of a tie, the order remains the hole last played. For each next shot, the ball should be hit at the point where it stopped, until it ends in hole. In several cases provided for by the rules, but it can be moved before a shot: this can be done without penalty or with one or two penalty strokes.
