Golfing is a sport governed by numerous rules, apparently complicated: having to provide various game situations, which affect the morphology of fields, environmental situations, materials available, types of competition, the rules of golfing are updated and published every four years in collaboration between the two agencies (Governing Body): for Europe is The R & A (up to 2003 was the Royal & Ancient Golfing Club of St. Andrews), Scotland; for the United States and Mexico, the United States Golfing Association (USGA) (wheels for golf bag).
The benefits awarded to players (the so-called handicap) are managed by national associations with local policies. The importance of knowing the rules for a golfer is greatest: this is probably the only sport where everyone is referee of himself and then honesty and respect must be part of baggage of every golfing.
A player usually carries many sticks during a round, but never more than fourteen, as defined by the Rules of Golfing. There are three main types of clubs, known as woods, irons and putters. The woods are used to play off the tee or from the fairway and ensure the greater distances, while the irons are used for precision shots and medium-long distance from the fairway or rough.
The modern golfing, which spread widely in mid-nineteenth century, is to hit a ball hard rubber (a golfing ball) along a specific path, from a helipad (tee), placed in a hole in a finish area (the green), through a succession of shots in accordance with the rules, such as to make the players make use of a number of sticks of steel, equipped with terminals shape, weight and sizes.
Mainly there are two types of play. In game "a hole" (Match Play), you face two players: you assign a point to player who finishes the hole in least number of strokes (taking account of disability and penalties) and the winner is the one who at the end of path has won more holes. In game "to beat" (Stroke Play), the winner is the competitor who has covered the entire field in fewest strokes (always taking into account the handicap and penalties).
There is to say, however, that, at the end of thirteenth century, literacy was not widespread in Europe and particularly in Scotland. This could explain absence of written records, since it is possible that no one considers it necessary to write down references to a pastime practiced by few. The controversy over who invented the golfing has existed and will always exist. Some accuse the Scots had deliberately distorted in their favor, for reasons of patriotism, the origin of sport.
Distinguished historians claimed that golfing was invented after the founding of University of Saint Andrews, in 1413, but in support of this claim, did not bring any evidence while there is evidence that at that time golfing was played in Scotland more than a century.
In every next hole, has the honor one who ends the previous hole with the lowest score; in case of a tie, the order remains the hole last played. For each next shot, the ball should be hit at the point where it stopped, until it ends in hole. In several cases provided for by the rules, but it can be moved before a shot: this can be done without penalty or with one or two penalty strokes.
