DON'T BE A CLUB SHORT!: Learn the New Rules of Golf 2019

By D. Tate Rich

The New Rules of Golf 2019 are here! As a serious golfer, you are already aware of the "major" changes, which have been widely and rightly-heralded for simplifying certain aspects of play.You will soon discover, however, that these "snapshot" summaries of major changes don't even begin to paint the whole picture, as the new Rules revisit play, relief, and penalties on a broad canvas, starting with the basics...numerous changes in the very language of golf.As a player you surely enjoy competition on some level. Accordingly, you need to learn not only how to play under the Rules, but how to protect your own rights and interests. This, by the way, is a Rule and not just a suggestion. So how does one learn the Rules?The most obvious method is the the textbook method. Pick up the actual texts, start with Rule 1, and read the Rules from cover to cover leaving yourself ample time for study and reflection of the inter-relationships, nuances, and exceptions therein.Another learning method is by play...your play...stroke by stroke, hole by hole. This method is the inspiration for this book...a four-ball match play competition...the same rules scenarios you face every day in your competitions and on your course. The players in this match want to have fun, compete, and play by the Rules. Somehow, they manage to pack a season of Rules miscues into a single round. You will recognize the violations (yes, you've probably been there), and you will find the applicable Rules well-cited and indexed for reference or further study as you will, no doubt, encounter these same scenarios again in your own games. So put down the textbook, step out of the library, and learn the new Rules the old-fashioned way ... in a round of golf.
