What will you find on the golf course

What do you find on a typical course?There are 18 holes in total in the large and great field generally.But some golf courses,because of a lack of money or land,there are only 9 holes.These courses beside the sea are called links because the golf is beinning from the Scotland."Link" are the link between the beach and the farmland.The 19th is golfspeak for the clubhouse bar-the place where you can reflect on your game over a refreshing beverage of your choice.


Do you know how long is a typical golf course?Let me tell you.Most are between 5,500 and 7,000 yards.Of course,some golf course are longer than the typical golf course,but those monsters are for the pros.Start at the low end of that scale and work your way up.

There is par-3 or par-4 or par-5 generally  for each hole.Par-2 are for the minigolf courses and the par-6 is limited.But,what is par?Par is the number of strokes of a reasonably competent player should take to finish the hole.For example,on a par-5 hole,a regulation par might consist of a drive, two more full swings, and two putts. Two putts is the standard on every green.If you finish a par-5 hole within 5 strokes,your score is negative number,but it is better than 0 or positive number.For example,if you hit the ball into a par-5 hole with 3 strokes,your score is 2-under par.


More that two putts is not ideal.One putt is a bnous.You should control the bottom line that in a round,half of the strokes should be allocaten on the green,so putting is important in the right time.


It is clear to understand that par-5 is longer than par-4,in turn par-4 is longer than par-3.Par-5 needs one driver,two full swings and two putts,while par-4 needs two full swings and two putts,but par-3 just need one full swing and two putts.Maybe you may ask how long is the par-3,par-4 and par-5 respectively?The length of par-3s are generally from 100 to 250 yards;par-4s are from 251 to 475;par-5s are uncertain,but are far form par-4s and par-3s anything.


What  golf equipments should you prepare?A set of golf clubs less than 14.Driver,Wedge,Putter and Hybird,Irons.If you are a fresh golfers,it is unecessary for you to spend two much on your golf.You can get your golf clubs  on online golf store igolfyoo.com.

Etiquette, Behavior on the golf Course


Introduction

This section provides guidelines on the manner in which the game of golf should be played. If they are followed, all players will gain maximum enjoyment from the game. The overriding principle is that consideration should be shown to others on the course at all times.

Safety

Players should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a position to be hit by the golf clubs, the ball or any other golf equipment or the like when they make a stroke or practice swing. Players should not play until the players in front are out of range. Players should always alert green staff nearby or ahead when they are about to make a stroke that might endanger them. If a player plays a ball in a direction where there is a danger of hitting someone, he should immediately shout a warning. The traditional word of warning insuch situations is “fore”.

The golf equipment prepared

You can get some good but discount golf equipment from website.http://www.igolfyoo.com. Some well-known golf brand are sale there, for example taylormade R9 Driver.
Consideration for Other Players

No Disturbance or Distraction

Players should always show consideration for other players on the course and should not disturb their play by moving, talking or making unnecessary noise.Players should ensure that any electronic device taken onto the course does not distract other players.On the teeing ground, a player should not tee his ball until it is his turn to play. Players should not stand close to or directly behind the ball, or direct behind the hole, when a player is about to play.On the Putting Green.On the putting green, players should not stand on another player’s line of putt or, when he is making a stroke, cast a shadow over his line of putt.Players should remain on or close to the putting green until all other players in the group have holed out.

Scoring

In stroke play, a player who is acting as a marker should, if necessary, on the way to the next tee, check the score with the player concerned and record it. Pace of Play.

Play at Good Pace and Keep Up

Players should play at a good pace. The Committee may establish pace of play guidelines that all players should follow. It is a group’s responsibility to keep up with the group in front. If it loses a clear hole and it is delaying the group behind, it should invite the group behind to play through, irrespective of the number of players in that group. Where a group has not lost a clear hole, but it is apparent that the group behind can play faster, it should invite the faster moving group to play through.

Be Ready to Play

Players should be ready to play as soon as it is their turn to play. Why playing on or near the putting green, they should leave their bags or carts in such a position as will enable quick movement off the green and towards the next tee. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green.

Lost Ball

If a player believes his ball may be lost outside a water hazard or is of bounds, to save time, he should play a provisional ball. Players searching for a ball should signal the players in the group behind them to play through as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found. They should not search for five minutes before doing so. Having allowed the group behind to play through, they should not continue play until that group has passed and is out of range.


Priority on the Course


Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, priority on the course is determined by a group’s pace of play. Any group playing a whole round is entitled to pass a group playing a shorter round. The term “group” includes a single player.


Care of the Course

Bunkers
Before leaving a bunker, players should carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints made by them and any nearby made by o the If a rake is within reasonable proximity of the bunker, the rake should be used for this purpose. Repair of Divots, Ball-Marks and Damage by Shoes Players should carefully repair any divot holes made by them and any damage to the putting green made by the impact of a ball (whether not made by the player himself). On completion of the hole by all players in the group, damage to the putting green caused by golf shoes should be repaired.
