RULES OF GOLF
As independent bodies The
R&A and the United States Golf Association have worked closely together since
1952 to produce a uniform code of rules so that wherever the game is played the
same laws apply.
Every four years the two governing bodies agree any necessary amendments or
clarifications and the main thrust of their work is in reviewing, revising and
clarifying the rules so that they can be more easily understood and applied.
Because of the complex nature of the game, one small change in the rules is
rather like altering the shape of one piece of a jig-saw puzzle, affecting all
the pieces that touch it.
Proposed changes are discussed in detail with golf authorities in all parts of
the world and when The R&A and USGA make their final decisions there has to be
complete agreement on both sides. The abiding principle is always "are they for
the good of the game?"
