Players new to the game of golf cannot easily discover all the unspoken and largely unwritten rules that govern correct behaviour on the links. As a result, there is a risk of inadvertently causing offence, or even injury to others. With the appearance of this leather-bound book, the player can look up everything he or she needs to know but may not find in the official rules of golf - who should play first from the tee, the optimum pace of play, how and when to repair divot marks on the tee or footmarks in the bunkers, and other considerations. It also describes how to report scores, after playing at home and also following a competition away from the club.

"Golf," writes Malcolm Campbell, "is as much, or perhaps even more about how it is played as it is about how well it is played," and it is the hows with which this clear and well-illustrated little gem is concerned. As the title implies, the guide is a concise manual of the game's written and unwritten codes: its ethics and principles as well as its rules. Not sure about how to book a tee time, when to hit, how to dress, your pace of play, or the best ways to repair a divot and rake a bunker? The Pocket Guide to Golf Etiquette can navigate novices and low-handicappers alike through the game's confusing shoals. Best of all, it's small enough to carry in your golf bag, and, with its pliable hide cover, sturdy enough to survive those inevitable on-course moments when temper overrules temperance, and manners beg for a quick refresher.
