Customer Reviews

Great gift idea

I received this book as a (somewhat sarcastic) gift after winning a few bar bets on golf rulings. Aside from its obvious value as a reference work it makes great reading in short segments (you can figure out an appropriate location). It is guaranteed to pay for itself in bets at the 19th hole, but will also, unfortunately, add a few strokes to your score. A great gift idea for any avid golfer.

New for the year 2002 all older versions are outmoded

New for the coming two years. Much improved index and better font from the previous 2000 edition.

What else is there to be said?

"Decisions on the Rules of Golf" is a combination of the USGA's official "Rules of Golf" along with the most recent questions and challenges to the rules in a convenient Q & A format. While the decisions get deeply involved at times, for a true lover of the sport it makes for an excellent 'casual read', regardless of one's playing ability. The text's small profile will fit into almost any golf bag for quick reference on the course, and the print is large enough so as not to alienate anybody seeking the correct answer to their golf question. This is the official and most current word to be found on golf. Outstanding!

Essential reading

Any player seriously intent on understanding the rules must have this reference work. It is both enlightening and entertaining. Remember, all the scenarios here are real-life occurrences - often more bizarre than anything you could make up.To Destiny above: You don't need the Decisions to solve your question.
