photo credit: foxypar4 The USGA Rules of Golf can be quite complicated at times. Here are some to be aware of:
No. 1 – Brush away dew from around your ball except on the tee and it's a 2 stroke penalty.
No. 2 – Lift your ball to identify it anywhere on the course, tell your opponent first – no penalty.
No. 3 – You may clean your ball at any time after it has been lifted except if it is unfit to play.
No. 4 – If your ball lies against a rake in a bunker, the rake may be removed with no penalty.
No. 5 – Any reasonable item can be used to mark your ball: tee, repair tool, toe of club etc. Check out the rules of golf at www.USGA.com
