The rules of golf constitute a set of standard norms and procedures that govern the playing of the sport. They are jointly drafted and managed by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body for golf worldwide, except for the United States and Mexico, which fall under the jurisdiction of the United States Golf Association. A panel of experts comprising members from both the R&A and USGA oversees and updates the rules every four years, with the latest revision in effect since January 1st, 2016.
Changes to the rules of golf typically fall into two main categories: those aimed at enhancing understanding and those that, in certain cases, reduce penalties to ensure fairness. The rule book, titled “Rules of Golf,” is regularly published and includes provisions governing amateur status as well.
