Golf courses do not have standardized dimensions. Each hole is unique in its layout and arrangement of features. Generally, golf courses consist of 18 holes, with each hole containing a tee box of varying size depending on par, as well as features like fairways, bunkers, and putting greens of different shapes and sizes, providing visual interest and strategic challenges throughout the round. Hazards are placed to be visible from shots and provide both physical and psychological obstacles.

Golf is much more complex than it appears. The object is simple: Hit the ball into the hole in the fewest number of strokes possible. However, there are dozens of rules that dictate the game. In fact, the United States Golf Association's official rule book is more than 150 pages and has rules covering course boundaries, standards of player conduct, and player equipment. Recreational players mustn’t necessarily familiarize themselves with this rule book, but should know some of the most critical rules.
Players begin each hole from the tee box, where they must hit between or within two club lengths behind the appropriate markers. For instance, if a player’s driver is three feet long, they can stand as far back as six feet of the markers. Teeing the ball further behind or in front of the markers can result in a two-stroke penalty.
After hitting the ball, players need to make sure to track where it lands. Marking it with a unique inscription or symbol can make it easier to find and play the right ball. This seems obvious, but it’s not uncommon for golfers to play the wrong ball as so many are similarly stamped. Playing the wrong ball is a two-stroke penalty and can even disqualify a player from winning the hole in match play.
The ball must also be played where it lies, unless it is out of bounds or deemed unplayable. If a player hits a ball outside of the confines of the course, they must take a penalty stroke and hit another ball from the same position. If the ball is found in bounds but deemed unplayable, the player can take a penalty stroke and drop the original or another ball in a relief area determined by a reference point further from the hole than the spot in which the ball landed. The player can also take lateral relief, meaning the ball can be placed within two club lengths of the reference point.
Once players hit their ball onto the green, they need to be aware of certain rules. The ball can be picked up and cleaned, but only if the spot in which it lies is marked with a coin or ball marker. It must then be placed exactly where it was. Moreover, players can repair marks on the green made from spikes, club indentations, or balls, but cannot fix natural surface imperfections or aeration holes.
Proper pace of play is also important to know. Players should attempt to keep up with the group ahead of them by walking to their ball at a reasonable speed. Once at their ball, they should take less than 45 seconds to select their club and make their shot.
For official tournaments or competitions, players are only permitted to have 14 clubs in their bag. There is no minimum requirement or rules regulating specific clubs that can be placed in the bag. Players can be penalized for having more than 14 clubs, however. Another rule to know for tournaments is that players aren’t permitted to ask other players for tips about particular shots or aspects of the course. Advice can only be given by caddies or teammates.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Golf is a club and ball sport in
which players use
various clubs to hit balls into a
series of holes on a course in as
few strokes as possible.
GOLF
3. Golf, unlike most ball games, cannot
and does not utilize a standardized
playing area. The game is played on a
course with an arranged progression of
18 holes. Each hole on the course must
contain a tee box to start from, and
a putting green containing the actual
hole or cup (4.25 inches in width). There
are other standard forms of terrain in
between, such as the fairway, rough
(long grass), sand traps, and hazards
(water, rocks, fescue) but each hole on
a course is unique in its specific layout
and arrangement.
1=teeing ground, 2=water
hazard, 3=rough, 4=out of
bounds, 5=sand bunker,
6=water hazard, 7=fairway,
8=putting green, 9=flagstick,
10=hole
4. Golf is played for the lowest
number of strokes by an
individual, known as stroke
play, or the lowest score on
the most individual holes in a
complete round by an
individual or team, known
as match play. Stroke play is
the most commonly seen
format at all levels.
5. The modern game
of golf originated
in 15th-century in
Scotland and the
game's ancient
origins are unclear
6. Every round of golf is based on playing
a number of holes in a given order. A
"round" typically consists of 18 holes
that are played in the order determined
by the course layout. Each hole is
played once in the round on a standard
course of 18 holes. The game can be
played by any number of people.
Though a typical group playing will
have 1, 2, 3 or 4 people playing the
round. The typical amount of time
required for pace of play for a 9-hole
round is two hours and four hours for
an 18-hole round.
7. Playing a hole on a golf course is initiated by putting a ball into play by
striking it with a club on the teeing ground (also called the tee box, or
simply the tee). For this first shot on each hole, it is allowed but not
required for the golfer to place the ball on a tee prior to striking it. A tee
is a small peg that can be used to elevate the ball slightly above the
ground up to a few centimeter high. Tees are commonly made of wood
but may be constructed of any material, including plastic. Traditionally,
golfers used mounds of sand to elevate the ball, and containers of sand
were provided for the purpose. A few courses still require sand to be
used instead of peg tees, to reduce litter and reduce damage to the
teeing ground. Tees help reduce the interference of the ground or grass
on the movement of the club making the ball easier to hit, and also
places the ball in the very centre of the striking face of the club (the
"sweet spot") for better distance.
8. When the initial shot on a hole is intended to move the ball a long
distance (typically more than 225 yards (210 m)), the shot is commonly
called a "drive" and is generally made with a long-shafted, large-
headed wood club called a "driver". Shorter holes may be initiated with
other clubs, such as higher-numbered woods or irons. Once the ball
comes to rest, the golfer strikes it again as many times as necessary
using shots that are variously known as a "lay-up", an "approach” a
"pitch", or a "chip", until the ball reaches the green, where he or she then
"putts" the ball into the hole (commonly called "sinking the putt" or
"holing out"). The goal of getting the ball into the hole ("holing" the ball)
in as few strokes as possible may be impeded by obstacles such as
areas of longer grass called "rough" (usually found alongside fairways),
which both slows any ball that contacts it and makes it harder to
advance a ball that has stopped on it; "doglegs", which are changes in
the direction of the fairway that often require shorter shots to play
around them; bunkers (or sand traps); and water hazards such as ponds
or streams.
9. In stroke play competitions played
according to strict rules, each player plays
his or her ball until it is holed no matter
how many strokes that may take. In match
play it is acceptable to simply pick up
one's ball and "surrender the hole" after
enough strokes have been made by a
player that it is mathematically impossible
for the player to win the hole. It is also
acceptable in informal stroke play to
surrender the hole after hitting three
strokes more than the "par" rating of the
hole (a "triple bogey" - see below); while
technically a violation of Rule 3-2, this
practice speeds play as a courtesy to
others, and avoids "runaway scores",
excessive frustration and injuries caused
by overexertion.
10. The total distance from the first tee box to the 18th green can be quite long; total
yardages "through the green" can be in excess of 7,000 yards (6,400 m), and
when adding in the travel distance between the green of one hole and the tee of
the next, even skilled players may easily travel five miles or more during a round.
At some courses, electric golf carts are used to travel between shots, which can
speed-up play and allows participation by individuals unable to walk a whole
round. On other courses players generally walk the course, either carrying their
bag using a shoulder strap or using a "golf trolley" for their bag. These trolleys may
or may not be battery assisted. At many amateur tournaments including U.S. high
school and college play, players are required to walk and to carry their own bags,
but at the professional and top amateur level, as well as at high-level private clubs,
players may be accompanied by caddies, who carry and manage the players'
equipment and who are allowed by the rules to give advice on the play of the
course. A caddy's advice can only be given to the player or players for whom the
caddy is working, and not to other competing players.
12. The rules of golf are internationally standardized and are jointly governed
by The R&A, spun off in 2004 from The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St
Andrews (founded 1754), and the United States Golf Association (USGA).
The underlying principle of the rules is fairness. As stated on the back
cover of the official rule book:
Play the ball as it lies, play the course as you find it, and if you
cannot do either, do what is fair.
13. There are strict regulations regarding the amateur status
of golfers. Essentially, anybody who has ever received
payment or compensation for giving instruction, or
played golf for money, is not considered an amateur and
may not participate in competitions limited solely to
amateurs. However, amateur golfers may receive
expenses that comply with strict guidelines and they may
accept non-cash prizes within the limits established by
the Rules of Amateur Status.
In addition to the officially printed rules, golfers also
abide by a set of guidelines called golf etiquette.
Etiquette guidelines cover matters such as safety,
fairness, pace of play, and a player's obligation to
contribute to the care of the course. Though there are no
penalties for breach of etiquette rules, players generally
follow the rules of golf etiquette in an effort to improve
everyone's playing experience.
14. Penalties
Penalties are incurred in certain situations. They are counted towards a player's
score as if there were extra swing(s) at the ball. Strokes are added for rule infractions
or for hitting one's ball into an unplayable situation.
A lost ball or a ball hit out of bounds result in a penalty of one stroke and distance. A
one-stroke penalty is assessed if a player's equipment causes the ball to move or the
removal of a loose impediment causes the ball to move. A one-stroke penalty is
assessed if a player's ball results into a red or yellow staked hazard. If a golfer makes
a stroke at the wrong ball or hits a fellow golfer's ball with a putt, the player incurs a
two-stroke penalty. Most rule infractions lead to stroke penalties but also can lead to
disqualification. Disqualification could be from cheating, signing for a lower score, or
from rule infractions that lead to improper play.
15. Some basic rules that should keep in mind while
playing golf are :
• You must play the golf ball where it lies,
unless there is a rule that allows you to
move it.
•The golf course may not be changed to gain
an advantage, unless there is a rule that
allows for a specific change.
• If your ball is in a bunker or water hazard,
your golf club cannot touch the ground or
water prior to your actual swing. If it does,
you must take a penalty stroke.
•If you accidentally play the wrong golf ball,
you get a two stroke penalty.
• On the green, you may mark and lift your
ball to clean it or get it out of another golfer's
way.
16. •When putting the ball must not hit the flag. If the golf
ball does hit the flag, it is a two stroke penalty.
•If you loose the ball in a water hazard, you can drop
the ball behind the hazard and in line with the golf
hole. You must take a penalty stroke.
•If you loose the ball out of bounds, you can take a
penalty stroke and then replay the shot.
• If your ball is unplayable, you may take a penalty
stroke and then drop the golf ball behind where the
ball was and in line with the hole or drop the golf ball
within two club lengths.
•You are allowed a maximum of 14 clubs in your golf
bag.
•Golfers must tee off behind and between the tee
markers. Never in front of the tee markers.
18. In the game of golf there are no specific
court dimensions or sizes. There are
hundred of different golf courses that
consist of 18 holes, none being the same.
Below are a few general things that are
found in all golf courses.
19. There is no set size for a tee box. They can be as small
as 4 yards long and 8 yards wide or even get up to 50
yards long. The size
of the tee box depends on the hole which is different
every time. Usually the higher the par is for that hole,
the bigger the tee box is.
20. Different sizes and shapes of the sand bunkers provide
visual interest throughout the golf round as well as
facilitate many functions. Bunkers evolve or change
over a period of time. The average lifespan of a bunker
is twenty to twenty-five years, depending on climatic
conditions, original construction and maintenance
practices.
21. Hazards should be placed on natural highs or lows of
the site and should be visible from the approaching
shot for tactical decisions. They also should be a
physical and psychological landmark. Depth, height
and width should vary and be in proper accordance
with the desired severity of punishment for the mis-hit
shot. An alternate safer path to the hole is important,
as average golfers cannot consistently maneuver a
golf shot over hazards.
22. The putting greens also vary in size and shape in
just about every hole of golf. A rule was put into
place for the putting green to start 20 yards from
the hole but has since been changed several
times. The size of the hole in the green is 4 1/4
inches with a depth of not more than four inches.
