The Rules of Golf are developed by the 2 governing bodies, the United States Golf Assocation (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient (R&A).
They create the rules which include the rules and decisions or rulings. Make sure you are familiar with the Rules of Golf. Knowing the rules can save you strokes or worse, disqualification from a tournament at your club. There are frequent changes, so make sure you get the most recent copy. Changes encompass many things such as methods for dropping a ball to equipment changes.
Get your copy of the Rules of Golf from your local professional, golf shops, golf retailers or by joining the USGA.
