Rules of Golf


Welcome to NHWGA,

 

Competing in NHWGA events is a wonderful experience, but can be intimidating or frustrating if you don’t know the rules of golf.  All NHWGA events are played by the USGA Rules of Golf.   It is important that players have a basic understanding of the rules.


 

Seek out your club representative, club professional, NHWGA Board members and rules committee members for help in clarifying rules and procedures.  Attend one of the two rules seminars that are being planned for the 2006 season.  The following rules situations are common occurrences; try to become knowledgeable about the procedures and your options under the rules.

 

Rule 28           Ball Unplayable

Rule 27           Ball Lost or Out of Bounds

Rule 26           Water Hazards

Rule 25           Abnormal Ground Condition, Embedded Ball and Wrong Putting Green

Rule 24           Obstructions

Rule 23           Loose Impediments

Rule 13            Ball Played as it Lies

Rule 8              Advice; Indicating Line of Play

Rule 6              The Player

Rule 3              Stroke Play

 

The USGA has all the rules and decisions plus video online at www.usga.org

Our website www.nhwga.org can also be a valuable place for information.

E-mail me at nhwga@usga.org with any questions you might have.

 

Enjoy your golf season!

Cindy Whitcher

NHWGA, Rules Chair
