The rules in golf are fairly simple if you already know them, however explaining them could take a while. If you are not very familiar with the basics, the first thing you would need to know would be the main objective of the game: you have to hit the ball at the start or at the tee into the hole for every section in the course's 18 sections or 18 holes.
The hole is located on the green, which is a piece of short and well-maintained grass. Once you are already on the green, you need to use your putter, which is the club that has a slab-like end, instead of your other normal clubs.
Every hole has a specified target number of shots to be done from the tee to the hole. This is called the par. For instance, if you are on a par 5 hole, you would need to get the ball from the tee to the hole in five shots or less. If you were able to do it with exactly the number of shots specified, then your score would be a par. If you did it in one less than the par, your score would be a birdie. If you did it in two less than the par, your score would be an eagle. Three below par would be called an albatross and the best score would be a hole in one, which happens if you were able to get the ball from the tee to the hole in one hit.
On the other hand, if you scored one more than the par then that would be a bogey. Two more than the par would be a double bogey. If you have tried for more that 12 shots, then you forfeit the hole. You would then have to move to the next hole.
Eventually, as you go through the game, there would be various hazards that you would have to deal with. If your ball lands on the rough, which is an area on the course that has long grass, you could find it difficult to move on from that area. There could also be trees on the rough of some courses, which could make them harder to get out of. The worst hazards would be the lakes and the ponds, because if you hit the ball into one, it would cost you the shot you took and another shot as a penalty, which would make it harder to reach par.

Get Fit For Golf
Most people would think that golf hardly requires any physical exertion. However, an 18-hole round could definitely take a toll on your mind and body. Improving your physical fitness could help you to improve your consistency, concentration, balance and the strength of your swing.
You need not start a full-blown fitness routine in hopes of making your game better. Here are some things that any golf player could effortlessly do to get in shape physically for the next game.
1. Strength
Although you can always spend time in the gym bulking yourself up to hit the ball to the far ends of the earth, this is not always necessary. To improve your strength for playing golf specifically, it is advisable to do exercises that will improve your swing. You can do some rotational exercises using weights in various positions, which could improve not only your core strength, but also your balance, flexibility and control.
2. Flexibility
This is one of the aspects that a lot of people have to work on as most golf players neglect to do a proper warm-up before a game or before a round. Doing a couple of stretching exercises and swings using a two clubs or one heavy club could help in loosening up your muscles and joints and eventually help you in performing better at your game.
3. Endurance
There are also several ways to enhance your endurance, however, if you want to improve your endurance specifically for playing golf, all you need to do would be a bit of walking. Although this is already what players do when they are out on the course but if you are able to walk longer distances without being too exhausted then you would be able to keep the quality of your swing consistent - whether you are on the first hole or the last hole.
You need not be a health buff to get in great physical shape for playing golf. You would just need to do a couple of simple and basic exercises from time to time and eventually, not only will you be physically fit for golf but you might also be able to improve your game.

Fitness Improves Your Game
You have been professionally fitted, are the proud owner of a beautiful set of new clubs and possess a couple dozen of the golf ball perfectly suited to your swing. You saw immediate results after the first round with your new goodies in all parts of your game, much to the chagrin of your golfing buddies. However, it turns out that these improvements have whetted your appetite more than fully satisfying you. You have become adjusted so quickly to your new found power and accuracy and you believe for the first time that you are ready for the next step. Your handicap has dropped from 18 down to 12 and you now dream of being a single digit player. Heck, scratch isn't that far away.
What is the next step? The one that will help you realize the most significant improvement and get you closer to your goals? You have talked to your golf friends, read all of the magazines and spent countless hours on the internet researching what to do next that will result in as much gain as the club fitting did for you. You have been told or read that perhaps you need to change your swing to get more on plane; get wider at the top; fully cock your wrists or cock them earlier in the backswing; or, is it that your quickest gain is more shoulder width? Others have urged you to get more torque in the lower body; and, so many other ideas that you are frustrated instead of ready to move forward. One of you wife's friends has urged you to try Zen golf; and, one of your best golf buddies swears that since he saw a mind coach he has improved greatly. You are too polite to tell him that he should ask for a refund because none of the group can see what he gained.
Any or all of the above would probably provide you some help; however, they will take time and will cost money. If swing changes or attitude adjustments are not the answer, then what do you do next to gain the 10-15% improvement you seek? Whenever you want to improve in any area, I urge people to assess what the experts in the field do when they seek improvement. Over the past 5 years there has been a tremendous phenomena seen on the PGA and all the other professional tours in the world. Tour players everywhere have embraced fitness! Yes, fitness is the area where you can see the greatest changes you want quickly.
When I tell students this I usually get a groan and grimace; but, it does not have to be painful nor tedious. I also get told frequently, “I just don't have time to exercise daily because I have to work and my family and friends take all the rest of my time.” I write to you what I tell my students. “You can always find 20-30 minutes a day and not only will your game improve, but you will also gain in virtually all other aspects of your life.” Weight control or loss will be a positive side-effect. Your doctor will be favorably impressed during your next visit. Your overall health will improve more over time. You'll be more active and alert in the evening after a tough day of work and your family will appreciate it greatly. Yes, even you wife will wonder about the new you as you become more romantic and amorous.
How you ask do all of these benefits happen in 20-30 minutes a day? Is there a magic machine I want you to buy off a 3 in the morning infomercial? Am I trying to sell you a special golf exercise program? No, there are no tricks. If you can walk 20 minutes a day and do some exercises the other 10 minutes, you will be able to see remarkable gains in less than a month.

It is that simple. The 20 minute walk 5-7 times a week will strengthen your lower body, which will help you gain more distance and control. It will also keep you more mentally alert in the later parts of the round that will help you avoid the mental errors common to fatigue, such as club and target selection.
“Okay,” you say, “I understand the value of the daily walk, but what do I do for the 10 minute exercise time?” Again, I advocate that you model the experts. Tiger Woods focuses strongly on his core as clearly evident when he prowls the fairways late in a round. All of the touring pros strengthen their core as an integral part of the daily regime. Take the 10 minutes per day and do exercises that will strengthen your core. There are literally hundreds of exercises available to you, some that use weights and many that do not require weights. You need to select ones that you do not mind doing. I recommend mixing it up to avoid making it a chore. Personally, I use a variety of routines to include 2-3 daily ones that include the use of an inversion table. There are two things that are important. One, spend the 10 minutes. Two, do whatever it is that does not bore you.
If you still believe that you don't have the time then understand that you can break it into two segments. Take the 20 minutes walk and then do the 10 minute exercise session at some other time that better fits your busy schedule. The time you do the two does not matter, but do take the effort and you will be greatly pleased with the rewards.
