Basics of Golf

   

Basics of Golf




You should have a general knowledge for the basic rules of golf so that when a situation comes up, you will be ready for a proper decision and little dispute.


Golfing Techniques - Golf Tee Shot Rule


One golfing technique to use is that when you are in doubt about a lost ball on a tee shot, always hit a provisional ball and make the ball recognizable to the group, so there is no disputing which ball is which.


Q: How do I tee a ball


A:   Slant That Tee

A common method to tee up a golf ball is to forward slant the tee in the ground a little, then place the ball on it. The forward slant gives you a feeling of sweep direction (at the hole) and provides less resistance from hitting the tee itself.


Tee Height


When you tee the ball for a driver shot, put the tee height at the middle of the driver´s face, this puts half the ball above the driver. This is the recommended height for driving.
