The game of golf has those obscure rules that require their own interpreter. We all pretty much know the basics. Three off the tee if you hook your Titleist into the drink. Play it as it lies (generally). Only 14 clubs in the bag and so on. However, the rules of golf, when actually read, resemble something out of an official piece of legislation or city by-law. They don't always make sense and quite often don't appeal to reason. There are many obscure and strange rules that you just might want to keep an eye on next time you have a side bet with a buddy. Here are my top 10 Obscure Rules of Golf: (all referenced from the USGA).

Decision (4-3/7) states that a golfer may replace a club that breaks when broken during the normal course of play or leaned on. If you're breaking clubs while leaning on them, you've got more problems than just a bent 5 iron.

If you happen to hit your tee shot into the St. Lawrence River, and your ball begins to move, Rule 14-6 (Ball Moving in Water) states that you may make a stroke at the moving ball but you are not permitted to delay making your stroke in order to allow for the current to improve your ball position or lie. Hit it and get out...or better yet just take the drop.
