Welcome to the NHWGA, Spring is around the corner and that means golf will soon start for us in the North. The NHWGA realizes that as much fun as golf is, it can also be intimidating and frustrating when it comes to understanding the rules. Below is the USGA’s (United State Golf Association’s) web address where you can find all the rules, decisions, many helpful videos and rules quizzes. Please utilize it to help in your enjoyment of the game. www.usga.org Some suggestions for players to ‘study’ are: - Definitions
- Rule 1, The Game
- Rule 3, Stroke Play
- Rule 6, The Player
- Rule 8, Advice; Indicating Line of Play
- Rule 13, Play Ball as it Lies
- Rule 23, Loose Impediments
