    Golfing is a sport governed by numerous rules, apparently complicated: having to provide various game situations, which affect the morphology of fields, environmental situations, materials available, types of competition, the rules of golfing are updated and published every four years in collaboration between the two agencies (Governing Body): for Europe is The R & A (up to 2003 was the Royal & Ancient Golfing Club of St. Andrews), Scotland; for the United States and Mexico, the United States Golfing Association (USGA) (wheels for golf bag).

    The method of construction and the material significantly affect the distance the ball will travel, and in trajectory in spin (or rotation). Harder materials, such as Surlyn, guarantee greater distances, while softer shell, such as urethane, generate more spin and consequently a greater impact force, which is necessary to stop a ball close to landing point.

    A player usually carries many sticks during a round, but never more than fourteen, as defined by the Rules of Golfing. There are three main types of clubs, known as woods, irons and putters. The woods are used to play off the tee or from the fairway and ensure the greater distances, while the irons are used for precision shots and medium-long distance from the fairway or rough.

    A new kind of sticks, called "hybrid", combine the precision of irons and the ease of performing the shot of woods with more loft. The wedges are irons with a loft (angle between the face and the barrel, or shaft) is particularly high, used to play shots as short and precise. They can also be used demanding positions, as in bunkers or in approaches (or revenue in green).

    Mainly there are two types of play. In game "a hole" (Match Play), you face two players: you assign a point to player who finishes the hole in least number of strokes (taking account of disability and penalties) and the winner is the one who at the end of path has won more holes. In game "to beat" (Stroke Play), the winner is the competitor who has covered the entire field in fewest strokes (always taking into account the handicap and penalties).

    But it was not always like that, because it is very likely that golfers for at least 300 years have played virtually no written rules as simple was "their" game that was different from other games of "sticks and balls" just for the fact that were to conclude with the ball tucked inside a hole. The introduction of written rules brought a minimum order but certainly these rules were borrowed from other including all likelihood there were those of a game called mail address.

    Distinguished historians claimed that golfing was invented after the founding of University of Saint Andrews, in 1413, but in support of this claim, did not bring any evidence while there is evidence that at that time golfing was played in Scotland more than a century.

    Golfing carts are motorized vehicles used to transport the players and the equipment during a round of golfing. They are equipped with electric motor, quieter in field and easier to manage. A pitch fork is a fork-shaped object with two prongs used to lift the pitchmark (the sign of ball left his landing in green).
