Every golf course is different with varying layouts, topography, climates and surrounds. Most scenarios you will encounter on the golf course are covered by the 24 Rules of Golf, but each course will also have a set of its own Local Rules and it’s important to be aware of these.
Local Rules cover features that are specific to the course or a particular competition. You will generally see them on the back of a scorecard, or on a competitors’ rules sheet, but they will likely also be published elsewhere, on club notice boards or perhaps the club website.
