Since the first official rules of golf were adopted in Scotland way back in 1754 basic golf rules have remained largely unchanged. However, advances in technology have brought with them many new items of golf equipment and these now, more than anything else, are leading to changes to the rules of the game. Each year there are about 3,000 new items of golf equipment introduced onto the market ranging from simple items such as new gloves or shoes to extremely advanced golf clubs. This has resulted in the regulatory bodies having to amend the rules of the game to include standards for golf equipment to ensure that the game remains one of skill and not of technology.
