Printable Golf Rules Provide a Handy Reference on the Course
from: Maxx Golf GuidesPrintable golf rules come in handy if you are new to the game of golf and you need to take a short set of rules with you out to the course as a reminder. When it comes to traditional golf, there are a few complicated rules, such as when it comes to stroke penalties and hazards, so having a set of printable golf rules may be helpful. Also, if any controversy arises while on the course between players, having a set of printable golf rules available may help clarify whatever golf rule is under discussion.
Printable golf rules may be hard to find, and you don't want to have to type up your own rules or write them out by hand. If you are new to the game of golf, and you don't want to forget an important rule while you are out on the course, here is a short version of some essential printable golf rules that you can use. Some of these printable golf rules include golf etiquette tips, which are important when it comes to the gentleman's game.
* Never touch the golf ball while it is in play. The only times it is acceptable to pick up or touch your ball is when you are on the putting green and the ball has been marked, or when you are taking a stroke penalty and removing the ball from a hazard or unplayable lie.
* Only hit first on the putting green or in the fairway if you are the player the furthest away from the hole.
* If you are waiting to hit your ball, get prepared for your upcoming shot by selecting your club or taking practice swings. You should always be conscious of avoiding slow play on the course.
* The player who hits first off each tee box is the player who scored the least number of strokes on the preceding hole.
* You are allowed a maximum of fourteen golf clubs in your golf bag while on the course.
* Never talk, make noises, or make sudden movements while another player is hitting a shot.
* While on the putting green, be careful not to step in the line of another player's putt.
* Check to see if the golf course you are playing at has a dress code. It is a good idea to wear a collared shirt to the golf course.
This list makes a quick reference guide of printable golf rules for a beginner out on the course. Following these simple printable golf rules will ensure that you have a fun time on the golf course.

LOST AND FOUND Rules Guy, I topped my tee shot into the bank above a water hazard not far from the tee box. It was close enough for me to look for the ball, but after a couple of minutes I got nervous that we'd be holding up traffic, so I declared my ball lost, scampered back up to the tees and hit again. As I drove my golf cart towards my second drive, I spotted my first ball on the far bank ...
