rules
golf tee in accordance with rules from the start, with hitting the ball once or continuously into the hole. At first glance, this is a very simple concept. However, being
as we know, from the tee to the hole in the process, players have to face many different situations, so we rule as many entries as many as 34.
1984 years ago, 41 rules of golf, and we have quoted above, that those remarks are rules 1. but the rules to further strengthen , people decided to put some of the basic principles of the beginning of the book. Rule 1 is divided into four parts. no part of the course is about a specific area or a specific situation. Instead, they are just basic questions and the concept of reasonable play. < br> As mentioned earlier, is basically a golf ball with a club reached the hole from the tee sports. Here the meaning is clear, players can only use the club, but not otherwise affected by the location of the ball or move the ball. This is the basic meaning of Rule 1-2. We may have seen this unfortunate situation, players hit the ball in the hole round and round the edge, while the player's fate is entirely in this one fell swoop, the ball players hole edge of the ground shaking beats and make your own hole in the ball rolling. If the player beats the ball is still rolling (see Rule 16-2), such behavior is considered to affect the movement of the ball in breach of the rules 1-2. (the ball does not move, if the player's beating led to the ball movement is a violation of the rules 18-2).
third part is that golf must be in accordance with the rules of golf. player or event The Commission can not choose which rules to use round. If the Commission to revise the rules, such as violation of rules 4-4a, to allow players with 14 or more clubs, then the punishment. they encountered in the rules of the game problem will not get the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews to help. And if there is a problem their own players, such as spikes in the unauthorized repair scratches on the putting green, were sentenced to golf in the principles to be ruled. USGA received thousands of letters each year questioned the rules of stationery, made under different circumstances they consider the most fair answer. However, they often mistakenly used the word results. their needs are not fair result but . In some cases, over 14. entire composition is determined depending on personal preference.
set of clubs usually include the following:
Irons: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, PW, SW
Woods: 1,3,5 and putter.
This does not mean that every play must carry the club. beginners can carry a Driver (1 wood) or 3-wood bar, the one 3,5,7, and 9-iron or S pole, plus a putter.
wood type
Driver: There are basically two types of wood, persimmon and Maple.? hard head usually persimmon wood.? sheet laminated (plywood) and head usually maple. sheets laminated wood club head is made to complicated. production process similar to the copy a key. The second species, is the most common head made of wood is maple. In general, 1 / 16 feet of maple plywood mounting panel is a similar way to suppress made. Such heat and pressure is mounting panel after Finally, make a similar persimmon wood club head. many golfers that the impact force persimmon wood head feels relatively hard, but this did not in fact. Some golfers prefer the laminated maple head on the ground that will more durable.
rod: Bao cast metal head is very popular, mainly because the proportion of peripheral through an additional control (this is not the original design intent, but the product of the casting process so that the weight distribution is more moderate.) Hollow cast stainless steel club head so as to avoid too heavy, hollow part of the noise usually polyurethane perfusion. there are many people noticed the head with a metal wood swing with or without a center can increase the distance hit.
graphite: Rod commonly used material body made of graphite are often used to head. two slightly different production technology. graphite prepreg gel mixed ABS plastic, and within the injection molding head. The second version is based on epoxy prepreg made of gel, and then the mixture is compressed into a mold. graphite head made of wood and metal head weight and the same, but head size is usually larger than usual. so can increase the But test results do not confirm that the head of graphite head better than the other materials, or swing farther.
increase the size: increase the size of the head generally recognized, usually made of stainless steel or graphite, sweet spot The area is relatively large. even when hitting off-center, but also allows the flight track farther, straighter. If you use the stainless steel head, face must be thinner to maintain the overall weight of normal (1, Woods was 191 - 205 g ). This will cause some metal woods rupture or concave face. So some manufacturers are introducing medium-sized metal wood, so as big as the sweet spot, but remained unchanged in order to avoid the thickness of head concave.
rod composite face: To meet the increasing size of the head, manufacturers are beginning to use face insert (usually a plastic, graphite or lightweight metal). This can result in a larger size of the face, but do not worry rupture or concave face. This can also reduce the overall weight of the club face. to the metal wood, the face insert is a very innovative design, the action on the swing and the ability to tolerate errors in any test results yet published.
China Golf
development of golf in China, late start, the development is quite rapid.
Golf first came to China in 1916, and then in 1917 began when the Shanghai Hongqiao Golf Association put into operation, this course is a nine-hole course, but the sport was a long time silent in mainland China. By the mid-eighties of the twentieth century, the rise of golf in China again, and an alarming pace up.

Even so, however, thirteen billion people is a very large market potential. and the development of golf in China in recent years, showing a trend of accelerated, so you can say this is a very promising industry.
