Evaluate the use and applications of the rules regulations

And scoring systems for playing golf and badminton.

I have been given the task of writing an assignment focusing on the rules and regulations of golf and badminton. I will evaluate the scoring systems of each sport and also look very deeply into equipment and playing surfaces used by both sports. These sports differ hugely so I will not try and compare the two sports I will just evaluate both sports in general.

In order for a sport to be carried out efficiently and safely it needs rules for participants to follow. The rules for golf are listed below:

Golf

  1. Play the ball as it lies. Without this rule players could place the ball near the pin as they wanted.

  1. You may move man made objects even in the bunker or water hazard. If they are immovable, you may drop the ball within one club length of the nearest point of relief no nearer the hole. In a bunker you must drop within the bunker. This helps the player to take their shot as if the ball lay behind a fence the player could move the ball one clubs length away but no nearer the hole.

  1. Don’t move, bend or break anything growing or fixed. You may lift natural objects not fixed or growing except in a water hazard or bunker.

The sport of golf has a somewhat complicated scoring system. Every hole on the course has a par. A par is the number of shots it would take to complete that hole. The owner of the course sets the Par for each hole. Every player starts off with the score of zero and their aim is to complete each hole with as little number of shots as possible. To obtain a high ...
