Book Description
This book explains the rules of golf in an easy-to-understand way. Instead of dry, legal English the Rules have been reworded in an easy-to-read style. It is structured around practical situations in the same way as you would play the course -- from Tee to Green. More than graphically edited photographs for clear visualization make understanding the rules as easy as ABC.


From the Author
No other sport has as many rules of play and codes of conduct (etiquette) as the game of golf, and no other sport’s rules are so complicated - making it very easy for players to run into trouble and unintentionally fall foul of the regulations. But the rules are not only made up of commands and prohibitions, they also grant numerous rights which, for example, allow the golfer to extricate himself from tricky situations without having to forfeit unnecessary strokes. Therefore whether you are able to use relief situations to your advantage or know how to avoid impending penalties, a comprehensive knowledge of the rules will most certainly be of benefit. However the book does not claim to be complete and therefore is not intended to replace the official rule book. The most important rules are explained but special cases are not considered. I am convinced that you can benefit from the many relief procedures which are described and that you will enyoy the game much more if you have a sound knowledge of the rules. I hope you will enjoy reading this book and wish you continued golfing success.
