11 Golf Rules
The original 11 rules of golf and todays rules of golf are not very different. In fact, they are very similar in many ways. All of the old rules are still rules we use in todays game of golf. Todays rules are more in depth than the old rules, which makes todays rules better. With todays rules of golf everything is accounted for and there's an answer to every possible question regarding anything during the play of a round of golf. The old rules are more plain and to the point, which makes them easier to understand. The original or old rules give more of a general ruling and are fairly bland. There are many instances in the original rules where you could say what if, and you wouldn’t have an exact answer. Not having and exact answer is the only

The third rule was that players could not run with the ball, and the fourth rule was that the ball was to be held in between the hands. The fifth of these rules explained that there was to be no fouling, “shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way” (66), and that a second foul could result in the player being banned until another goal was made. The sixth rule expressed that hitting the ball with a fist would result in a foul, and the seventh rule said that three repeated fouls from the same team would result in a point for the opposing team. The eighth rule determined that a point would be scored when a player shot or hit the ball into the goal from the ground. The ninth of these rules stated that after the ball was knocked out-of-bounds, the ball would be thrown in and only played by the player who caught the ball. Rules ten and eleven pertained to the umpire and referee. The umpire had the ability to disqualify players whereas the referee determined whether the ball was in-bounds, decided to which team the ball belonged, and also kept track of the playing time.

    The game is played so differently and many could argue that some of the best players in today's game wouldn't last in the past eras. The game today is so much easier for offensive players. Imagine a Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in today's game where fouls are called if you look at someone wrong. A bit of exaggeration there, but you get my point. Not to mention Dennis Rodman would own the boards.…

    The Occupational Safetey and Health Administration (OSHA) is part of the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA issued a "Directive" under which each employer in selected industries was to be inspected unless it adopted a "Comprehensive Compliance Program (CCP)"-a safety and health program designed to meet standards that in some respects exceeded those otherwise required by law. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States who represents the industry-objected to the Directive and filed a petition for review with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Chamber claimed, in part that OSHA did not use proper rulemaking procedures in issuing the directive. OSHA argued that it was not required to follow those procedures because the Directive itself was a "rule of procedure." OSHA claimed that the rule did not "alter the rights or interests of parties, although it may alter the manner in which the parties present themselves or their viewpoints to the agency."…

    I have been playing disc golf for the past three years! I have practiced all most all the time. I am at the point that when I play with Noah King he says my disc are magic. There was one time when we were playing and he said my disc was a magic disc and I told him it was not. On the next hole I threw a bad shot, the disc rolled on the ground for a few yards then his a log and jumped right where I wanted it to go. Then right as I turned a round he shouted ‘’I told you so!’’ I think if you asked him if I had magic disc he would tell you I do.…

    When the game was first created there weren't really any rules on how the game was supposed to be played, now there are rules that players must obey. Those rules have changed over the years, though the basics have stayed relatively the same. For example, when playing there is a certain number of players allowed on each team that can be playing at once. And when a player is eliminated from the game, he is only able rejoin the game if it doesn't exceed the number of players allowed on the court at one time. Also, when players reenter the game, they must do so in the same order that they were eliminated in.…

    As an individual transitions from high school to college and then to a professional level, one may come to realize major and subtle differences in each level that is experienced. James Naismith invented the game of basketball as something to keep men occupied. It has changed a lot from then to now. It was first played with a peach basket with no hole in the bottom. There were no backboards. There was no 10-second line, three-second violation, and no frontcourt and backcourt lines. But the greatest difference between Naismith’s invention and basketball as we know it today was that in the thirteen rules, there were no provisions for dribbling. He said the game could be played with as few as three or as many as forty players on the court at the same time. Naismith didn’t want a soccer or lacrosse goal because indoors, nine men would line up in front of the goal and it would be impossible to score, so the goal had to be elevated. The 10-foot height on the baskets came about because the first peach baskets were attached to the…
