The object of the game is to get the ball from the tee into the hole in the fewest number of strokes. A stroke is striking the ball with the club head or pitching the ball with the club scoop. The winner has the fewest number of strokes for the 18 (or fewer) holes played in the round.
Play the course as you find it and play the ball as it lies. Course rules and restrictions for pitching the ball are determined by the course terrain. The senior member present settles disputes.
The equipment includes the club, ball, cup, flag, tee marker, club and ball rack and championship trophy.
