In 1744, the Company of Gentlemen Golfers was established in Edinburgh and then codified the first rules of play. They've been evolving ever since. The official USGA rules, plus decisions, covers over five hundred pages. So, no brief article can cover every facet. The following is highly simplified.
In general, the idea is to hit your own golf ball the fewest number of times in order to reach a hole that starts a couple of hundred yards distant. Remember, the rules may not always be fair, but like your parents' rules — they're rigid.

One technique, mental as much as physical, to improve your short game is by starting from the hole and working backwards. Everyone knows the frustration of missing those two foot putts, but that can be practiced off the course.

Hooks: In Fishing, Good. In Golf, Bad |

Golf

Since there are an infinite number of wrong paths for a golf ball to fly, but only one right path, the odds are not in your favor. But, as Hans Solo said: "Never tell me the odds!" Beat them by looking at the cause of a hook and practicing the cure.
A hook is a shot that moves to the left of the target line. (For right-handers, for lefties reverse the directions.) Sometimes it starts out to the right, then veers left; sometimes it starts left and curves further left. (If it shoots off behind you, you have a different problem...)
As with any undesired path, the causes are many and varied. Still, some fundamentals remain. A hook is the product of one or more of: (1) incorrect grip, (2) poor stance, (3) wrong swing. Any or all can contribute to a closed clubface, producing counter-clockwise spin and a shot that moves left of the target line. |
