About the Author
Arnold Palmer is one of the most storied players in the sport of golf. The winner of seven majors, including four green jackets as Masters champion, he is still active on the Professional Golf Association's senior tour. He is the president of Arnold Palmer Enterprises and the Palmer Course Design Co., and the owner of two courses: the Latrobe Country Club in his native Pennsylvania, and the Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida. His autobiography, A Golfer's Life, was a New York Times bestseller.
Reviews
The Palmer name on a golf book is certain to draw a crowd, but this time it's the contents as much as the celebrity author that merit attention. The rules of golf appear simple--there are only 34 of them--but, in fact, they conceal a minefield of possible interpretations. Displaying an engaging, anecdotal style, Palmer takes the reader through all the rules, discussing possible trouble spots and supplying examples from golf history. We learn, for example, that Ian Woosnam, in the 2001 British Open, was hardly the first pro to be penalized for having too many clubs in his bag. Johnny Miller met the same fate when it was discovered that he was carrying his son's toy driver along with his own clubs. Similar stories illustrate each rule as Palmer works his way from the differences between match and medal play through to what it means (and doesn't mean) to play the ball as it lies. A potentially boring topic (even for golfers) made fascinating by one of the game's legends. Bill Ott
