About this title

Synopsis

A fully comprehensive alphabetical, colour-coded listing explaining the many complex rules of golf in an easy to follow, practical and interesting way.

Review

The rules of Golf are sacrosanct and the onus is on the player to declare penalties incurred by him or herself--yet a large number of keen golfers have very little knowledge about the rules of their chosen sport. This is probably because the rules are in some cases difficult to understand, and there are situations where more than one rule may affect the correct course of action to be taken.

This book simplifies things for all golfers--amateurs and professionals alike. Printed in dictionary form, it is necessary only to look up the subject--eg: "lost ball"--and the dictionary then cites all the rules relevant to that subject, and whether or not penalties are incurred in that particular situation. Easy as ABC, isn't it?

In addition, the dictionary also advises on situations where rulings have been made by the "law lords" of golf--the R & A and the USGA--which help a great deal where there may be some difference of opinion as to the interpretation. There are a good number of photographs that help to illustrate the rules and rulings, but this book goes even further than the rules--it also gives information on the etiquette of golf--which could benefit many golfers even on the small circuit in which I play!

Also included are descriptions of the format of a variety of competitions and other golfing terms used by golfers, particularly useful to new and inexperienced golfers. This dictionary comes in pocket size and is so informative and easy to use that every golfer should carry one--and use it! --Ben Naylor
