Golf Rules Plain & Simple

Product Description
“The game’s big lie is that the rules of golf are simple. The actual fact is that they are complex and confusing, which is why millions of earnest amateurs unwittingly violate them every time they play. PGA Tour official Mark Russell is one of golf’s best at making complicated rules decisions clear and understandable to the best players in the world, and now he’s presenting his common sense approach in plain drawings and plainer English. If you want to truly understand the rules and confidently play by them, read this book.”
— Jaime Diaz, Sport Illustrated
As befitting a royal and ancient game, golf’s rules are complicated and often confusing. On the PGA Tour, players have tournament officials to help keep them on their toes. Those not fortunate enough to be on the Tour are left to the mercy of the official Rules of Golf–a fine book, but somewhat bogged down in legalese. To remedy this situation, veteran golf writer John Andrisani teamed up with PGA Tour tournament official Mark Russell to create Golf Rules Plain and Simple–a plain-spoken guide to dealing with 37 common rule violations. Some of the rules seem too strict for the weekend duffer (are you really going to penalize your opponent two strokes for asking you what club you used?), but committed golfers will want to abide by them anyway. After all, golf is a game of honor. With its compact size and durable covers, Golf Rules Plain and Simple is the perfect addition to any golf bag. –Sunny Delaney

Sunny Delaney, please read this book. You see a little knowledge of the rules of golf is important in reviewing a book about the rules. Point: You would never penalize your “opponent” two strokes for asking for advise (the club you hit), because the penalty in match play (the only time you have an “opponent”) is loss of hole – not two stokes. In stroke play the penalty is two stokes, but you do not play with or against “opponents”, but instead “fellow competitors.” Too picky? Not to a golfer, even a weekend golfer.

Well written, small enough to carry in pocket of golf bag for those situations where you’re not sure what the rules actually are. I’m very happy with the book.

This is a great resource to have with you when you are on the course. I’m a novice and find learning the rules tough especially when I’m trying to deal with the actual physical techniques of golf. This book will help me out alot.

Like most golfers I think I know the rules, but I don’t. Who has the time to read the very confusing USGA rules book?
Mark Russell simply and clearly explains the basic rules of golf. O.B., lateral hazzard, lost ball-these are the rules that 95% of golfers DO NOT understand.
Thanks Mark!

If you golf, you must pick up this book! No question about it! This book will do for golfers what the 10 Commandments did for mankind!
The rules are clear and leave no room for argument. I am looking forward to my Saturday golf outing to dazzle my buddies with my newfound expertise of the rules of the game!
