[edit] Types of Rules

Shouldn't there maybe be a section of this article outlining some of the basic rules of golf?Alexander Phipps 13:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


I certainly agree that there should be a section that should be included in this article, Rules of golf, outlining the very Basic Rules of Golf such as the 18-Holes, the Four-Player Limit, Teeing and Putting, Play the Golf Ball as it Lies, Ball Marking, the Flagstick, Obstructions, Loose Impediments, Playing the Wrong ball, and others. Furthermore, a section should also be included discussing the Scoring system of golf.

There is nothing in the rules of golf that says there should be 18 holes, nor that four players are the maximum. I agree with the rest apart from perhaps scoring - have to look that one up. Fuzzy 22:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] If Wikipedia is so wise...

...then why the rules are not listed? --88.114.30.60 16:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
