The title says it all

Though the rules of golf are not as difficult as they are often said to be, they can nevertheless be arcane at times, but this book does a good job demystifying them. Knowing the rules can save you strokes, as you can sometimes use them to your advantage. In a format small enough to fit in a golf bag but with print big enough to read easily, common situations are presented, then common mistakes in this situation are shown, followed by the correct way to play. To help even further, one or more pictures accompany each of the 37 situations. All this, along with a modest price, combine to make this an excellent purchase for the golfer without the patience to read the official rulebook.

IF YOU GOLF-OWN THIS BOOK

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!Alan

Must have for the golf bag!

Mark Russell has taken something that not many golfers know anything about, the rules, and made them simple to understand. In the common situations Russell uses, he shows you exactly where you can find it in the rule book. After reading Golf Rules Plain and Simple, I consider myself more knowledgeable of the rules. This book is a must for your golf bag.

Great Resourse

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.

A Bible for the Golf Course!

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!
