  • A Brief History of Revisions to the Rules of Golf: 1744 to 2016

    A Brief History of Revisions to the Rules of Golf: 1744 to 2016

    A Brief History of Revisions to the Rules of Golf: 1744 to 2016 While golf has been played for more than 600 years, the earliest known written rules for the game date from 1744. This early code of “Articles & Laws in Playing at Golf” (known today as the “13 Articles”) was drafted by The Gentlemen Golfers of Leith (later known as the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers) for a single day of competition on the Leith links. Still, the principles represented in these 13 rules fundamentally describe the same sport that is played around the world today. Although the Rules of Golf serve to define and preserve the essential challenge and character of a game rich in history, they were not decided centuries ago and then simply preserved ever since. On the contrary, continuous evolution in the rules is one of the game’s central traditions. While the core principles of the sport have endured through the centuries, their outcomes and the procedures for applying them have undergone regular change. Much of the time, the Rules of Golf have changed in response to the seemingly infinite variety of unforeseen or unique circumstances that keep arising in a sport played outdoors in a natural setting. Reasons for rule changes have included the evolution of course design, maintenance and agronomics; innovation in clubs, balls and other player equipment; and the expansion and diversification in the landscapes where golf is played. More generally, the Rules of Golf Committees have often made changes after listening to passionate debates among golfers about whether particular outcomes or procedures are fair or appropriate.

  • 2018 Alberta Golf Caddie Rules and Regulations

    2018 Alberta Golf Caddie Rules and Regulations

    2018 ALBERTA GOLF CADDIE RULES AND REGULATIONS 1. A caddie is someone who assists the player in accordance with the Rules, which may include carrying or handling the player’s clubs during play. The caddie is an extension of the player and must abide by the Alberta Golf Code of Conduct and the Alberta Golf Dress Code. 2. A caddie may not wear traditionally-designed spikes or shoes with conventional spikes (regardless of composition). Spikeless golf shoes and running shoes are permitted. 3. At Alberta Golf events where caddies are permitted, the caddie must sign out and wear Alberta Golf- designated caddie bibs at all times when caddying on the course. The bibs are distributed in the starting area and must be returned to the scoring area after play of each round is completed. 4. The caddie is responsible for knowing the Rules. During a stipulated round, the player incurs the applicable penalty if his caddie breaches a Rule. 5. The player may have different caddies during a round, but must be assisted by only one caddie at a time. 6. The Committee may, in the Conditions of a Competition, prohibit the use of caddies or restrict a player in his choice of caddie. 7. If someone carries or transports a player’s clubs, whether on a pull cart or motorized cart, he is by definition the player’s caddie. A caddie may use a motorized cart only when the Conditions of the Competition permit players to use motorized carts. 8. A caddie may, without the player’s authority: • Search for a player’s ball • Place the player’s clubs in a hazard.
  • Posting Scores in 2021

    Posting Scores in 2021

    WOMEN’S METROPOLITAN GOLF ASSOCIATION Posting Scores in 2021 The 2021 WMGA Tournament Schedule Book (TSB) states “All scores from WMGA tournaments, including Team Matches, must be posted into USGA Handicap System.” For Team Matches, the Team Captains should require each player to post their scores after each match. Team Match scores should not be posted as “C” scores. Scores from some WMGA stroke play tournaments will be posted as “C” scores by the Committee as noted in the Notice to Player. The WMGA will post the following Stroke Play events as C scores: Met Am Championship, Match Play A & B Championship Qualifying Round, Stroke Play A and B Championships (2 days), Seniors' A and B Championships (2 days for Class A and 1 day for Class B), One Day Stroke Play A & B (3 days), Maureen Orcutt Championship (2 days), Junior Open Championship. It is the responsibility of the player to post “C” scores such for the Match Play A & B Championship matches, Golf Illustrated, Myra D. Paterson, Griscom Cup and Enos Cup. Shown below are some guidelines from the USGA that will help a player better understand “how to” post a score. Please adhere to these guidelines, plus you can always ask your PGA club professional, visit USGA.org, or call the WMGA office for assistance. Guidelines on How to Post a Score1 Rule 2 - Scores Acceptable for Handicap Purposes Rule 2.1 Acceptability of Scores A score is acceptable for handicap purposes if the round has been played: 1. In an authorized format of play (see Rule 2.1a Played in an AuthoriZed Format of Play) over at least the minimum number of holes required for either a 9-hole or an 18-hole score to be acceptable (see Rule 2.2 Minimum Number of Holes Played for Score to be Acceptable), 2.
