Question

What are the rules of golf?

Answer 1

Play  with   soft   hand.

Answer 2

If you want to read the rules of golf from the USGA website or even the Official Rules book, you will probably be more confused than enlighted. They are not all that straight forward.

My suggestion would be to remember the 10 basic rules of golf. The link is below. This is an abbreviated version of the official rules of golf, but they work.

Answer 3

swing the club and hit the ball

Answer 4

there are a fair number of rules each with a subsection that requires a rule lawyer to read..but they can be found on the usga website.

Answer 5

Hit the little white dimpled ball, into the cup in as few shots as you can, using golf your clubs. :)

Answer 6

clubbing the golf ball into the hole using fewest shots

Answer 7

1.  Play it as it lies.  

2.  Whoever takes the fewest shots wins.  

The other boring ones are linked above.
