Golf Rules & Etiquette Crystal Clear: Find the Answers to Your Questions about the Rules

This is so easy to read that it's almost entertaining!

This was a delightful book and unexpectedly fun to read. The illustrations are plentiful, well thought out and make a big difference in understanding the text. The writing style is lucid and insightful as well, making this book the complete package on this subject. I learned more from this book than two other "simple" rules books and a video. A really useful bonus is the section on etiquette. You are not as likely to be asked out with a group or have as enjoyable a round if you are not aware/do not follow the game's etiquette!

Reading the "Rules of Golf" as supplied by the USGA is like a gas station attendant reading a textbook about IRS Regulations....its impossible to understand. However, this book was amazing. I read the entire book in 1-1/2 days. It is so easy to read, and as you read it you'll come upon situations where you say "oh, I didn't know that"......as well as a lot of things where you'll say "oh, that's how it's supposed to be played". The pictures are also so clear, concise and understandable that you'll want to keep the book in your golfbag for "on course reference". Bottom line: EASY TO READ.....VERY INFORMATIVE.....YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE RULES AND NO LONGER HAVE TO GUESS. Period.

This is a book you should own! The first section covers etiquette, handicap, slope system and basic golf terms. The etiquette chapter should be required reading by all golfers. The next section takes you through the rules of golf in an interesting way. The author examines the rules in the same way a golfer plays a hole. The book looks at rules on the tee and goes forward to the green. The pictures and illustrations help explain the rules and relief procedures in a clear and understanding manner. The same author has an excellent "Quick Reference Guide" you can carry in your golf bag.

This is the best book I've ever read about the rules. No legalese but plain Englisch, great illustrations and a lot of practical tips on how to save strokes using relief procedures. If you ever had problems understanding the rules of golf - this book is the answer to all your questions!
