We’re Seeing The Best Golf Since Tiger

When I was at my most impressionable age, Tiger Woods was dominating golf tournaments.

I specifically recall the 2000-2001 time period. I was about eight or nine years old, mesmerized by Tiger’s complete control on the course.

He won 14 times in those two years. Over 39 starts, he finished in the top 25 every single tournament with only one exception.

Tiger would suck the life out of golf tournaments. He would get a lead and then grow a lead by doing everything a little better than his pursuers. There was no need to press when everyone was chasing.

I eventually reached a time in my life where I actively rooted against Tiger—but only to make things interesting. He had become so good that once he got into the lead, the rest was a forgone conclusion.

Understanding The Rules: A Beginner’s Guide To Golf’s Core Principles

(Note: This article is an informal explanation of the basic fundamentals of some of the most important Rules of Golf. It is not intended to be an official guide. Please refer to the Rules of Golf provided by your national golf association online.)

You’re standing over your ball in the rough, staring at a twig behind it, wondering if touching it will cost you a stroke. Your drive rolls up next to a cart path and now you’re stuck—do you play it? Can you move it? Your buddy casually mentions something about “nearest point of relief” while you’re just trying not to hold up the group behind you.

Look, I get it. Golf rules can feel like a minefield designed to trip you up. But here’s what changed everything for me: these rules aren’t trying to punish you. They’re actually there to help you out of tough spots and keep things fair for everyone. Once you get the hang of the basics, those tricky situations become puzzles to solve rather than moments of panic.

The Golden Rule: Play it as it lies

This is golf’s fundamental principle and it’s beautifully simple: play the ball where it comes to rest. Whether your ball is sitting pretty on the fairway or nestled against a tree root, the default is to play it as you find it.

This rule creates the challenge and character that makes golf unique. Unlike other sports where you get do-overs, golf forces you to deal with whatever situation your ball creates. But here’s what many beginners don’t realize: the rules provide plenty of relief options when “playing it as it lies” becomes unreasonable or impossible.
