Customer Reviews

A great quick reference guide
This is an excellent golf rule guide as it simplifies many of the complex rules of golf through explanations in plain English, as well as through the generous application of helpful diagrams and illustrations. I have found its layout to be especially useful in very quickly targeting those "what does the rule book say?" situations one is most likely to encounter in a typical round--and it does so without endless cross references. Its compact size allows for it to be readily carried on the course for quick access.

I was introduced to the Guide through its being awarded as a tee prize at the Transamerica Senior/ProAm at Silverado in Napa Valley, CA--and have since purchased several copies for friends and associates.

Superb rule guide to carry with you
Having tried unsuccessfully to navigate the official NCGA handbook for golf rules, this book was a Godsend. We purchased copies for everyone in our golf league and it has been most helpful.

It is easy to read, very well indexed, plain straightforward writing. Our group would highly recommend it to golfers who do not want to spend an hour tying to find a ruling in the official book.

The Pocket Guide of Golf Rules
A very well written condensed version of the rules of golf. The simple index makes it easy to refer to a rule quickly.
