Original Rules of Golf Features:
The Original Rules of Golf were first written in 1745 at Muirfield, Scotland. An ideal gift for the golfer who has everything. The Original Rules of Golf is framed in your choice of 3 different frames.
The rules, as depicted (the 'Notes' are not depicted on the print):
1. You must tee your ball within a club's length of the hole. (Note: Tee boxes are still one club length in depth)
2. Your tee must be on the ground. (Note: Tees, back in these days, consisted of little pyramids of sand)
3. You are not to change the ball which you strike off the tee. (Note: Look at that - the "one ball condition" way back then!)
4. You are not to remove stones, bones or any break club for the sake of playing your ball, except upon the fair green, and that only within a club's length of the ball. (Note: Hmmm, bones?)
5. If your ball comes among watter, or any wattery filth, you are at liberty to take out your ball and bringing it behind the hazard and teeing it, you may play it with any club and allow your adversary a stroke for so getting out your ball. (Note: Origins of the 1-stroke penalty for a water ball)
6. If your balls be found anywhere touching one another you are to lift the first ball till you play the last.
7. At Holling you are to play your ball honestly at the hole, and not to play upon your adversary's ball, not lying in your way to the hole. (Note: Don't do something petty such as trying to hit your opponent's ball with your own)
8. If you should lose your ball, by its being taken up, or any other way, you are to go back to the spot where you struck last and drop another ball and allow your adversary a stroke for the misfortune. (Note: Stroke plus distance)
9. No man at holling his ball is to be allowed to mark his way to the hole with his club or anything else.
10. If a ball be stopp'd by any person, horse, dog, or any thing else, the ball so stopp'd must be played where it lyes. (Note: Play it as it lies)
11. If you draw your club in order to strike and proceed so far in the stroke as to be bringing down your club, if then your club should break in any way, it is to be accounted a stroke.
12. He whose ball lyes farthest from the hole is obliged to play first.
13. Neither trench, ditch, or dyke made for the preservation of the links, nor the Scholar's Holes or the soldier's lines shall be accounted a hazard but the ball is to be taken out, teed and play'd with any iron club
