Golf Rules Made Easy

Published

What happens if your ball moves while you are addressing the ball? What do you do if an ambitious squirrel takes off with your ball? What are the differences between distractions with your ball that happen in the bunker or the fairway? An easy way to check your facts is the 2008-2011 Golf Rules Quick Reference.

Have you ever been with a foursome that had differing opinions on what to do if another ball hits your ball while it is at rest? Instead of having this cause a major disagreement, keep the Quick Reference in your bag and have the pertinent information at your fingertips.

The booklet’s author takes information from “The Rules of Golf” and “Decisions on the Rules of Golf” that are published by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews and the USGA. It is important to note that the author also stipulates that the booklet is a summary of some of the rules as he has interpreted them. His interpretation does not seem to be that far off, as he is a rules official that has written several books on golf and holds a law degree. Finally, his bio on the booklet claims he has a handicap of 4. Fair enough, I think the booklet will suit a round with the group just fine. At the very least, it should settle some minor disagreements.

The size and format make it easy to slip into your golf bag. It fits in your palm and the pages are a thicker, laminate stock that can get wet or dirty without being harmed. The back cover has an overview of relief procedures and whether or not relief is available. Look for your type of predicament and whether your ball is in the fairway & rough, bunker, water hazard, or green and flip to the section that tells you how to proceed. Inside are tabs that make it easy to find what you need. In addition, plenty of illustrations are included. Each rule is referenced after each descriptor so that it is possible to double-check yourself. This is extremely simple to use and even has step-by-step instructions of exactly how to use it. Overall, it’s worth throwing in your bag in case you’re wondering what to do the next time the ball is wedged between the flagstick and the rim of the hole.

You can find this at your local pro shop for around ten bucks or online at www.golfrulesmadeeasy.com. The booklet is published in twenty languages and can be customized as well. After you buy one, sign up for the newsletter at the site and get updates to rule changes as they become available.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.

It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

From the listing:
