Synopsis

Most golfers would like to know the Rules of Golf better. 999 Questions on the Rules of Golf is the smart way to learn the Rules because it is easy to dip in and out of, contains interesting scenarios that readers will recognize and relate to. There are questions, answers and, most importantly, explanations to the myriad of situations on the golf course that a golfer may encounter. Answers are conveniently located immediately beneath each question and are directly referenced to the applicable Rule of Golf, or Decision on the Rules. The questions are tiered into three knowledge levels; 333 simple questions that should be familiar to every golfer whatever their handicap; 333 more difficult questions relevant to both casual golfers and Golf Club members; 333 advanced questions for those seeking to expand their knowledge of the Rules. For variety, the questions are further subdivided into three formats; true/false, open ended and multiple choice. A detailed index provides an easy and convenient way for readers to reference specific situations as they arise. There are multiple questions on every one of the 126 sub-sections to the 34 Rules of Golf.

About this title

About the Author

Barry Rhodes qualified as a chartered accountant in London, but has since spent over 35 years in various sales & marketing management roles within the information communication technology (ICT) sector. He is an enthusiastic, high handicap golfer who developed an interest, then a fascination and now an obsession with the Rules of Golf. He is resident in Dublin, Ireland, where he is an active member of Milltown Golf Club. Barry's relationship with the Rules began in 2000 with his participation in the inter-club Rules of Golf quiz competitions, organised by The Royal & Ancient for Golf Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland. This then led to him writing articles, running quizzes, and delivering presentations on the Rules at a variety of Golf Club and corporation functions. He has his own web blog containing miscellaneous content for anyone who wishes to improve their knowledge and understanding of the Rules of Golf at www.barryrhodes.com and reguarly answer question on the Rules from other golf bloggers, commentators, officials, golf professionals, committees and enthusiasts. In March 2008, Barry became the first person to achieve a 100% correct mark on the public Advanced Rules of Golf Course examination, run by the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) in their headquarters at The Belfry, West Midlands, UK.
