It also runs a developmental tour for aspiring players, called the Japan Challenge Tour. It was used mainly for short approach play to the green and low-running chip shots. With its shallow loft it is sometimes compared to a modern 4-iron, but the jigger was not a club intended for long shots. Also called a "pitching niblick. It operates separately from the Japan, Korea and Australia womens' tours. Events in and saw the tour expand to India, Malaysia and China.

The lie can vary from good to bad, depending on how far the ball has settled down in the grass or, in the case of a bunker, in the sand. One of golf's fundamental rules is "play the ball as it lies", unless another rule gives you "relief" from where the ball is lying. The land in question was usually characterised by sand dunes and undulating terrain, such land being unfit for building development or agricultural.

Links land is usually low-lying, with the sand dunes supporting fine, salt-resistant grasses.

The word "links" probably derives from the fact that the land in question provides a link between the coastal foreshore and agricultural land that is set further back from the sea. Many would say the only true golf links are those built on this type of coastal duneland. However, "links-style" courses are found in abundance both in non-duneland coastal regions and inland. Sometimes called a pop-up shot. Local rules are generally determined by a committee within the respective Golf Club. The loft increases with the number of the iron e. Also called a lofting iron, it superseded the wooden baffy for approach shots to the green.

Other types of irons include: Long-irons have the least amount of loft of the irons and are often regarded as the most difficult irons to use. Many golfers nowadays prefer to use hybrid clubs rather than long-irons. Providing you do not cause your ball to move, you can remove loose impediments unless they are in a hazard.

At the end of the season the player who has won the most prize-money including money from other qualifying events is declared the Order of Merit winner. Some Orders of Merit were previously determined on a points system, with points given for tournament placings during the season; nowadays most are based on prize-money.

OB is usually defined by white stakes or a white line on the ground.

A ball is out of bounds when all of it lies out of bounds; the white line itself, and anything beyond the inside line of the stakes, is out of bounds. Play is prohibited from ground that is out of bounds although a player may stand out of bounds to play a ball that is in bounds. Any objects defining out of bounds, e.

It could be a ball on the green, in a greenside bunker or even off the green, but in relation to where it was hit, the ball stops level with the pin. A pitch and run shot is a less lofted shot that allows the ball to run on after it has pitched on the green.

The player's ball is teed-up between the two relevant tee-markers, and must not be in front of them, but can be up to two club lengths behind them. The colours of the sets of tee-markers indicates which players should tee-off from which place.

Although there is no common standard for the colour of tee-markers, in Europe and other parts of the world you will commonly find: In the USA the colours are more likely to be: The longest courses can have six or even seven different sets of tees.
