Use to rules to your advantage and take 5 strokes off your next round! "Golf Rules & Etiquette Crystal Clear" explains the rules of the game and the correct conduct on the golf course in an easy-to-understand way. Instead of dry, legal English the rules are explained in an easy-to-read style. Furthermore it is structured around practical situations and the chapters are arranged in the same way as you would play the course - from "Tee" to "Green". "Water Hazards", "Bunkers" and "Out of Bounds" being in between. This, combined with more than 100 graphically edited photographs for clear visualisation make understanding the rules as easy as ABC. With the extensive index this book will prove to be a useful and reliable reference tool. "Golf Rules & Etiquette Crystal Clear" really makes it easy for everyone to gain an overview of the complex set of rules. "Read Yves s book and use the rules to your advantage - then you ll always be up there amongst the winners." -- Alex Cejka, tour professional "This book explains the rules in an easy-to-understand way and will add to your enjoyment of the game of golf." -- Adolf Ogi, Special Advisor to the United Nations Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace "This book will help you gain a better understanding of the rules and will help you to achieve better scores." -- Gary Player, golf legend and Grand Slam Winner No other sport has as many rules of play and codes of conduct (etiquette) as the game of golf, and no other sport’s rules are so complicated - making it very easy for players to run into trouble and unintentionally fall foul of the regulations. But the rules are not only made up of commands and prohibitions, they also grant numerous rights which, for example, allow the golfer to extricate himself from tricky situations without having to forfeit unnecessary strokes. Therefore whether you are able to use relief situations to your advantage or know how to avoid impending penalties, a comprehensive knowledge of the rules will most certainly be of benefit. However the book does not claim to be complete and therefore is not intended to replace the official rule book. The most important rules are explained but special cases are not considered. I am convinced that you can benefit from the many relief procedures which are described and that you will enyoy the game much more if you have a sound knowledge of the rules. I hope you will enjoy reading this book and wish you continued golfing success.
