The modern Rules are comprehensive and have been meticulously compiled to ensure they cover any possible scenario you might encounter on or around a golf course. It’s important to have a good knowledge of the Rules, not only to avoid making mistakes that could cost you penalty shots, but also because the Rules can come to your assistance when you are in a difficult situation.
