I can't tell you how many USGA and PGA seminars I have been to trying to understand the Rules of Golf. They can indeed be very tricky. Every word means exactly what it says.

For those interested in learning the rules, I would suggest that you begin by getting a rule book and learning the 40 odd definitions in the front of the book. That will at least give you a starting point o begin to discuss the rules.

If you don't understand a term like "through the green" you are going to have difficulty in discussing the Rules of Golf".
