About this title

Synopsis

From the start of a round of golf to competitions and disputes this handy reference book explains the rules of golf clearly and sensibly.

This essential guide to the complexities of golf rules is written in Peter Dobereiner's witty and acerbic style. Using anecdotes and examples to illustrate his points, this classic book is an absorbing read as well as a handy point of reference on the course. The etiquette guide and scoring terms on the flaps at the front and backare easily accessible in this handy pocket-sized edition. The final section details the Standard Scratch Score and Handicapping Scheme for both men and women and includes an abbreviated outline of the handicap system used in the United States.
