There are rules in every game but what distinguishes golf from other sports is the inviolability of three basic principles over the centuries:
1. Play the ball as it lies.
2. Play the course as you find it.
3. And if you cannot do either, do what is fair.
Basic Rules of Golf:
- A player must play the ball from the place where it falls.
- All participants should be ready to wait until the previous team finishes its game.
- A player must honestly declare if he touches the ball.
- A player must be patient and take his time in the game.
- A player must keep order on the field and follow etiquette.
- A player must respect other players and not interfere with them during the game.
- Each player must play his own ball and not interfere with the game of others.
- A player must not touch the golf balls of other players.
Essence of the game:
— the first swing is carried out from the launch pad (Tee), and the following swings are made
from the place where the ball stops;
— you need to record your result in a special card after completing the hole;
— if a ball goes out of field, two free kicks are added and the game continues from the Tee;
— when stopping the ball near an obstacle, it must be moved to the length of the heel of the club,
without approaching the hole, without penalty;
— if the ball bounces off an obstacle, you need to play from the place it stops without penalty;
— the winner is the one who plays the least number of swings on 18 holes.
Golf Etiquette:
- Do not talk while playing;
- Do not walk on the other player's line of play;
- Do not hit the ball if you see a team playing in front of you;
- Do not get emotional after every failed swing;
- Do not be late/ arrive on time;
- Have fun.

Facts

I remember the Golf tournaments that ART TRADING organized in the 2000s! Architects were
invited - famous and not so famous, but with a great desire to participate, and maybe even win!
The architects were interested in getting to know this elite type of entertainment and the
tournaments were of great interest! I think it's a good idea to resume these tournaments!
Architects vote - for!......)

Architectural life has never been monotonous. There are plenty of stories related to the
profession and what is happening around it. Until now, it was believed that the most near-
"architectural" sports activities were tennis and downhill skiing... and today golf could be added to them. First, an "office" one, and in the future, perhaps, a real one, unless, of course, rapidly sprawling residential complexes completely "block" the prospects for the development of golf courses necessary for practicing this wonderful sport. One day, the organizers of the
Architectural Golf Award came to our spa design workshop. They told me, showed me and
invited me to a mini-golf competition in ALNAGAMMA. We enthusiastically succumbed and
spent half a day wandering with clubs from hole to hole on an improvised golf course. In terms of the number and arrangement of various obstacles, everything somewhat resembled a competitive field on a miniature scale. Unlike big golf or show jumping, friends and colleagues torment you with advice during the game… There is a constant whisper in the air: "left, right, weaker, stronger..."so I want to shout:" don't whisper under my arm, leave me alone! I'm already without you and my hands are shaking because of you! That's how I didn't become a champion.… But the team was not faint-hearted and performed much better. In general, the activity "in itself" is great! I have been to "advanced" golf clubs several times: you sit, watch, drink, listen to comments from participants and spectators of professionals and amateurs and think : "... But it's still good that our greedy developers and we, with our cottage settlements, fences and multi-storey neighborhoods, have not yet reached this beautiful place....
PS about "elitism" (I don't like this word) inside the "right" sports clubs, it's missing: there are other priorities - it doesn't matter who you are and where you come from, it's important how you play…

"I remember that in the noughties there was a great tradition of organizing golf tournaments for architects. It is always interesting to chat with colleagues in an informal setting, discuss news, meet new people. As you know, golf is an elite sport. I remember that the atmosphere at these tournaments was appropriate. I think it's a great idea to have an architectural golf course again. I would love to participate!"
