If you want to start playing golf but have no clue, do not worry, you don’t need a golf trainer, and although it can help in may situations. You just need to familiarize your self with some rules and then practices, practice, practice. Golf may look pretty easy at first glance. Just get that ball into that hole, but there really is more to it. Golf consists of playing a ball with a club from the teeting groundinto the hole by a stroke or successive strokes. The ball must be fairly struck at with the head of the club and must not be pushed, scraped or spooned. In hitting the ball, a player must not: Accept physical assistance or protection from the elements; or Allow his caddie, his partner or his partner’s caddie to position himself on or close to an extension of the line of play or the line of puttbehind the ball. The holes on the course must be played in order. In match play, each hole is a separate contest. If you win the first hole, you are "one-up"; if you lose it, you are "one-down"; if you halve it, you are "all-square." You have won the match when you are more holes up than there are left to play. In stroke play, the competitor with the lowest total score for the round is the winner. You must play your ball into the hole before starting the next hole. Anyone you are playing with is a “fellow-competitor”. It is not possible to play match play and stroke play at the same time.
