It is important for every golf player. Golf as the other games has its own history and rules. If to speak about the history of the golf, first of all we must notice that nobody will know the name of the shepherd who was the first to hit the round stone by stick. The authorship of the game name challenged between Scotland and Dutches which had very popular game: Kolven. However it was played on ice too.

That mean shortly cut grass plat a round the hole. At this time balls way is crossing two types of plats : fairway with grass of medium length and rough - long grass from the sides of fairway.The main point of the game is as people say, to pass the hole: that means that the player, beginning the game from T play ground, must to hit the ball into hole, located on patting green with minimum number of strikes.

You must know the rules to act fair. Some time ago such type of golf as mini golf appeared. The mini golf has got popularity almost equal to a golf. There are few distinctions between them. But mini golf is obviously more convenient and available. The basic difference is that min: golf player uses only one golf-club for the whole game. This golf – club is called putter. With the help of which player rolls up the ball into hole. It is often used artificial covering of the field in mini golf.
