4 Rules of Golf Every Golfer should know.

1. Areas of the Course – Before you start diving into specifics, it’s important to know the 5 Areas as rules often apply based on which area he or she is in – Teeing, Bunkers, Putting Green, Penalty, and General Areas.

2. Taking Relief from Free Relief vs. Penalty – A helpful thing to remember when starting out is when getting free relief let’s say from Ground Under Repair, it’s typically a 1-club relief area. If you are penalized and is taking relief, it’s generally a 2-club relief area.

3. Cart Path Relief – Cart path relief is one of the most common relief practices that we see performed incorrectly. It’s also one of the most often needed rules since it happens to many golfers at least once a round. Learn how to take Cart Path Relief.

4. Play Two Balls – If you are not sure what rule should apply or don’t have a rules book simply announce to your partners you are playing two balls so you can ask a PGA Professional or rules official later on. Always remember to identify which ball is your preferred ball of the two you are playing.
