For most golfers, the rules are a very serious matter. The problem is, there are lots of them, some of them are quite complicated, and some of them seem to make no sense. In addition to the rules, there is the whole matter of golf etiquette. Another whole set of things to learn. For instance, did you know you are not supposed to put your golf shoes on in the parking lot? I don’t know why, and it seems silly to me, but there you have it. Now you know. Not knowing this stuff when you get out on the course makes it clear to everyone that you are a newbie. So, it is worth putting some effort into learning the rules and the etiquette guidelines. I’ve included a link below to a book that might help you understand the rules better. For more information on this topic you can also go to a summary of the rules on my Rules Summary page. And yes, I am shamelessly monetizing this blog. A girl has to make a living.

I never thought I wanted to play golf. It seemed dumb. It seemed expensive. It seemed like it didn’t take enough effort to count as exercise and enough challenge to count as sport. And of course, I couldn’t have been more wrong. It is great exercise, lots of fun, extremely challenging and fun to learn, gets you outside in beautiful settings and provides opportunities to spend time with good friends and family having a good time together. There is nothing like the feeling you get from hitting a ball well and watching it sail out towards the green. In my second game I hit a drive that went all the way to the green, though it landed in a bunker just to the left of the green. Then, I got it out of the green in one shot with my sand wedge and it went right in the hole! A birdie! I hadn’t even made par on a hole before that. I was hooked. A good book for newbies: Golf for Dummies (see below).
