Definitions in the Rules of Golf - Part 1
The Rules of Golf book after speaking of the label in Golf, speaks of the "Definitions" in sport.
In his second section "Definitions" the golf rule book defines a variety of sports-related words, as well as words used in the rules, (eg determines the definition of "bunker" to use, and explaining that means or comprising when speaking of a bunker).
Read the rules say, in the 2nd section "Definitions", the definitions are ordered alphabetically, and starting with:
"Casual water" is any temporary accumulation of water on the field that is not in a water hazard and is visible before or after the player takes his stance. Snow and natural ice, other than frost, are casual water or loose impediments at the option of the player. Manufactured ice is an obstruction. Dew and frost are not casual water. A ball is in casual water when resting or any part of it touches the casual water.
