Attracted to golf, that's a no-brainer. As a world-renowned ball game, golf naturally has its own unique beauty, unless it is a person who particularly hates similar sports, or simply hates sports, I believe that most people will be interested in golf after a little understanding of it. Then, in the actual operation process, I gradually fell in love with this sport.

Zhou Fangyuan has not yet reached the level of "love", after all, he has just begun to get in touch. In my previous life, I didn't have the ability to try it, after all, golf is also a sport known as an aristocratic sport, and if it doesn't even have this bit of attraction, it will be too disappointing. Zhou Fangyuan had never played golf before, and he didn't understand the various rules and ways of playing golf at all, but fortunately, the designer in charge of the design of the club this time often went in and out of various golf clubs when he was in the United States.

In fact, if you regard golf as a channel for business exchanges and network expansion, it has to be said that the threshold of golf is very high, and different circles, especially those who are not at the same level as each other, want to know some people and get acquainted with some people from the bottom up, and the difficulty is not ordinary. But if you just think of it as a sport, the threshold for golf is not very high, maybe all you need is a set of golf equipment?

It makes sense to know the basic rules of any sport before you play it, and if you don't even know the rules, you really have to laugh at it. Golf values gentlemanly demeanor, and the understanding of the basic rules cannot be taken lightly. Therefore, the basic rules of golf, the differences between stroke play and match play, the judgment and handling of various batting conditions, and the precautions for participating in the tournament are explained.

But before we get to the specific rules, there is one thing that all participants must strictly abide by, and that is that a game must be played in a fair and just manner.

Well, that's the big tone, and in fact it's the code that all competition events must follow. Once even fairness does not exist, then the game is naturally meaningless.

Golf is played by hitting the ball into the hole with one stroke or consecutive strokes from the teeing area. Influence on the ball, except for acting in accordance with the rules, the player or caddie shall not do anything that affects the position or movement of the ball, and the negotiated breaches of the rules shall not negotiate to exclude the application of any rules or to waive the penalty that has already been awarded.

While there are many rules to golf, the most basic of these two points is that the participants must play under fair conditions and that they must be able to objectively deal with the situation in their favor.

As for the other rules, they are based on the above two basic principles.

Although the rules of golf are set by the Golf Association, and in the spirit of fair play, each player should be required to be a referee who abides by the rules.

Golf, the rules of which are, in a nutshell, to hit the ball into the hole. The most basic principle of golf is to hit a ball from the table until it holes, and it is against the rules to move with the ball, or to use methods such as throwing or rolling the ground. Play should continue when the ball is at rest, and when the ball has been struck, the ball is at rest before playing, and the surrounding environment must not be changed for the purpose of swinging.

Golf is roughly divided into stroke play and match play, and both professional and amateur matches are more common in the form of stroke play. The so-called stroke play is to accumulate the number of strokes for each hole, and after playing an eighteen holes, add up all the strokes and judge the winner by the total score. Match play is also based on the number of strokes, but the difference is that match play is based on the number of strokes of each hole to determine the outcome of the hole, and each game is based on the cumulative number of winning and losing holes to determine the result.

In short, the rules of golf are like this, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say simple, whether you can play well or not, it mainly depends on the individual, practice diligently, plus a little talent, you can play well. But in fact, if you enjoy it, it doesn't matter if you play well or badly, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's just the mood when you play, and the relaxation of your mind.

Golf courses also have boundaries, and outside the boundaries, they are naturally "outside the bounds". The word "out of bounds" can be regarded as an area where play is prohibited, and is generally marked by boundary pillars or fences. So if someone accidentally throws the ball out of bounds, it goes without saying that the hole is a failure, either it starts all over again or it starts right from the start of the previous shot. There are still a lot of rules in regular games, but Zhou Fangyuan is not an athlete, he doesn't need to know so much, the designer who is responsible for coaching him just tells him as much as possible how to avoid hitting the ball out of bounds, as for how to judge the penalty at that time, it is the referee's business.

The biggest no-no for golf is being late.

If you are late for a match with a friend, you are likely to be listed as your least welcome player, and if you are late for an official match, you will be penalized or disqualified.

There are two types of penalties for being late, depending on the format of the game.

Two strokes are imposed for latecomers in stroke play, or the first hole is lost in match play. It can be seen that being late for the competition is a big shame for the participants and should be avoided as much as possible.

In regular competitions, each player can only bring up to 14 clubs, and if there are fewer than 14 clubs, they can be replenished to 14 clubs. Damaged or unusable clubs may be replaced during the game on a case-by-case basis, and may not be borrowed from any participant on the course, whether to be supplemented or replaced. Otherwise, once the club has been borrowed, until the end of the game, the loaned club will be used by the borrower, and the lending party may not take it back for reuse.

The position of the ball is a basic starting point for all rules of the game, so in order to ensure that you have a full understanding of the rules of the game and avoid losing due to fouls, you must remember the following rules: the ball is out of bounds when the whole ball is out of bounds, the judgment standard is the line on the ground at the innermost point of the boundary post, or in some cases the boundary line, when any part of the ball touches the water barrier marker, the ball is in the water barrier, remember that the marker post itself is also part of the water barrier, when any part of the ball touches the green, the ball is in the hole area, if the ball is on the edge of the green, a part of the ball protrudes outside the green, it shall not be considered to be on the hole and if any part of the ball is in the teeing area, it shall be deemed to have been placed in the teeing area. The tee area is a rectangular area with a width of two clubs, with the front and sides determined by the outer limits of the tee area markings.

......

This time the designer came named Harvey.

Of course, he is not the only designer, in fact, it is a whole design team that is responsible for the design of the clubhouse.

Harvey is the leader of the team, the level of the team's chief designer, and in China, he can be called a project manager.

His job is not to keep an eye on the project, but to supervise the specific construction of the project, and other designers are responsible for it. The construction team of Yuanfang Real Estate still has strength, although it is certainly incomparable with those top construction teams, but the general civil construction and interior decoration, as long as the drawings are in place, there is no need to worry about any big mistakes. So in fact, Harvey is not busy, he has enough time to chat with Zhou Fangyuan.

After explaining a lot about the rules of golf, they moved on to more nuanced things.

Besides, the rules of golf are similar to those of football and basketball, and you can only understand them a little bit if you are in contact with them regularly. If you don't try it, you will forget it for a long time, and if the person learning is interested in golf itself, it is basically useless.

Zhou Fangyuan is interested in golf, and Xavi explained a lot of rules to him, but he can't write everything down.

So after a brief telling, they began to try to play.

"There are many types of golf.

We generally divide them into single-layer balls, double-layer balls, triple-layer balls, and multi-shell balls.

A single-layer ball can also be called an all-in-one ball or a one-piece header ball, and is generally only used for practice or for the driving range. The spheres are pressed from ebonite and painted.

The double-layered ball, also known as the double-body ball or two-piece header ball, is the most commonly used ball. The outer part of the ball is made of hard rubber or plastic, or a mixture of them, and the thickness is about 1 mm. Due to the different textures, different compositions, different firmness and resistance, different hardness, different colors and dents, different characteristics and performance are produced, which are manifested in the height, distance and rolling of the ball. At this point, I say no matter how much it is, it is useless, this is something that you need to keep in touch with yourself, try often, and accumulate experience little by little. When you're experienced enough, you'll be able to tell some of the specific attributes of the ball the moment you get it.

It is the World Bank, and it is not possible to infer from the structure of the ball itself how it functions.

A double-layered ball, which itself is a ball consisting of a large ball center and a relatively thin shell, was called a 'distance ball' in the past. The ball has a longer flight distance because it has less backspin, higher velocity, and a hard hitting sensation when the golfer hits the ball. The use of advanced technological means has been able to produce this kind of high-efficiency game ball. This type of ball is soft and spins quickly, so it is very popular with players. Most of the long-range, or wear-resistant golf balls on the market use this structure.

The three-layer ball, also known as the three-piece header, is only used by high-level golfers, and the current top international tournament players basically use the three-layer ball.

A three-layered ball is a type of bulb made of rubber or plastic, or a mixture, which is about the size of a stick, surrounded by a liquid-filled gallbladder, wrapped like a ball of thread, and wrapped like a thin rubber strip, and the outer shell is a rubber barata. High-level golfers love to use this gel nucleus liquid ball because it can be felt when hitting the ball and is easy to control. Of course, if you don't hit the ball accurately, it is easy to get cracks and cuts.

In the past, it was the players who preferred to use the triple ball with more spin and softer feel of the ball, so they preferred not to pursue the ball over long distances. The new structure of such a ball no longer has this drawback, since the flight speed and resistance of the ball have been significantly improved. Most of the balls with the highest spin and the best hitting feel still use this tried-and-true three-layer structure.

As for the shell ball, this kind of ball has a characteristic, that is, the more powerful the shot, the easier it is for the ball to deform. Multi-layer balls are designed and manufactured with this in mind, with the aim of producing the best results with any shot force. The center of the ball is designed to make it easy to hit the ball as far as possible with the teeer, the middle layer is adapted to the hard hitting of the iron, and the shell is suitable for the best hitting feel and slalom for half-swing, cut shots and putts.

With all that said, you try to try out a few types of balls, and then compare what I said to see the difference between them. ”

Harvey didn't come up to explain the specific posture or action essentials or something, just like playing football and basketball, in textbooks, there are naturally all kinds of standard movements of football and basketball, but in the actual game, because of the player's personal situation, as well as the situation at the time of the game, as well as the environment around the player, it is basically unlikely that there will be standard movements. It's more about scoring goals, how to be comfortable.

The same is true for golf, the standard movement is good, but it does not have to be perfect, every movement and every trace of trajectory must be exactly the same as the standard action, in fact, as long as you can hit the ball, and the action is very similar, it is already possible. No matter who you are, you don't have to ask someone who isn't a professional in the game to have a perfect move. Even the athletes themselves, the movements are not perfect, but the movements of the athletes may be more beautiful than the average player. But in the final analysis, after all, it is still necessary to start from reality, and each athlete's movements are slightly different, which is the most familiar and favorite way to exert power.

Harvey has his own favorite way of power, and it doesn't make sense to teach Zhou Fangyuan, but it will affect his performance.

Harvey just taught Zhou Fangyuan the most basic movements, such as how to stand, how to swing, etc., and then stopped talking nonsense, and let Zhou Fangyuan find the right movements for him as much as possible, rather than under the influence of others.

Zhou Fangyuan tried to play a few balls according to Harvey's teachings, and at the beginning, it was indeed not easy to even hit the ball. Either he swung it empty, or he hit the ball to the side all at once, in short, it was not easy for him to even hit the ball well in the first few shots. However, I don't know if he has some talent in this area, and after the first few shots that were not very good, he quickly got back into shape and managed to hit the first ball with Xavi's compliment.
