There are many rules that apply to golf but unlike many other sports, unless it is a tournament, there is no need for a referee. Players must know the rules themselves, be honest about the number of shots they take and play the ball as it lies.

Moving or interfering with the ball is a big no-no, although there are some exceptions. If you lose your ball or hit it in a lake then you will have to add strokes to your score before you can play on. But generally common sense prevails.
