Download or read book The Rules of Golf in Plain English Third Edition written by Jeffrey S. Kuhn and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The cry for the simplification of the Rules of Golf is a stock-in-trade of the journalist during the winter months. Countless words on the subject have been poured out to an ever-tolerant public, but still the long-sought simplification does not come."—Henry Longhurst, 1937 The hopes of renowned writer and golfer Henry Longhurst—and millions of golfers before and after him—have finally been realized. In The Rules of Golf in Plain English, Bryan A. Garner, American English language and usage expert, and Jeffrey S. Kuhn, volunteer USGA rules official, have translated the knotty Rules with the encouragement and permission of the United States Golf Association. The result is a modern, readable version that offers, for the first time, clear guidance to both amateurs and professionals. Based on a 338-word set of thirteen rules written in 1744, the official Rules have grown, over two and a half centuries, to 40,000 words. Numerous contributors and a complex revision process have rendered these Rules so opaque and stylistically inconsistent that a companion volume—the 600-page Decisions on the Rules of Golf—has been published to help golfers navigate them. Both lawyers and avid golfers, Kuhn and Garner recognized the difficulties that the language of the Rules of Golf created, especially in a sport that expects players to call penalties on themselves. By reworking the Rules line by line, word by word, they have produced an accessible resource that no golfer—from the duffer to the pro—should be without.

To hit a truly awful shot, mere incompetence is not enough...you really need an audience. Back in the early days of the game, when the first rules were written and the basics of etiquette formulated, there appeared a series of shrewd and rueful observations about golf that were nearly always attributed to a mysterious individual named Murphy. As time passed, these canny precepts found their way into the culture at large--but the roots of Murphy’s Laws clearly lie in this sport that’s tailor-made to expose the fundamental malevolence of the cosmos. Here they are, collected--for all lovers of the links to ponder when they’re in the rough!

Download or read book The Pocket Idiot s Guide to Golf Rules and Etiquette written by Jim Corbett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golf rules and etiquette are two of the most intimidating aspects of the game for newcomers to the sport. They're also two of the most important things beginning players need to learn. The rules are numerous and sometimes quite complex, and the official USGA rule book offers little help with its legalese and one-size-fits-all approach. As for etiquette, golf is unique in the extent to which all players, regardless of experience, are expected to demonstrate an understanding of etiquette as soon as they start to play. The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Golf Rules and Etiquetteoffers relief from the intimidation new golfers might otherwise feel. From dressing properly and loading up the golf bag through putting the final ball on the 18th green, author Jim Corbett (nationally recognized as "Mr. Golf Etiquette") covers all the do's and don'ts, and even lets readers know which rules are safe to bend when playing with friends.

Book excerpt: There's a social aspect to golf that's unique to the sport. It's the only sport where you're building relationships at the same time that you're trying to play your best and win—and maybe close a business deal. While the rules of golf are clearly defined, the etiquette of golf is less codified. Making the wrong move can cause annoyance, errors in play, or even injury—all things your fellow golfers won't forget. Now bestselling etiquette authority and passionate golfer Peter Post explains what seasoned golfers and newcomers need to know to handle every situation with total confidence. Based on Emily Post Institute surveys on golfers' most annoying incidents on the course, Peter addresses: How to deal with the biggest frustration in golf—slow play. What to do if you break the cardinal rule of never being late. When is a "gimme" acceptable? The difference between friendly play and tournament play. Dealing with sandbaggers and other cheats. Do's and don'ts when playing for "a little something." Peter Post's useful tips on the subtleties of the game—such as how and when to offer advice, strategies for speeding up play, and "piniquette"—will help longtime golfers be better companions on the course. New golfers unsure of the unwritten social rules of golf will find all the information they need to avoid embarrassment. Packed with true stories from golfers about best moments and worst behavioral blunders on the course—ranging from the sandbagger who cheated himself out of an eagle to a wardrobe malfunction that gave new meaning to the term "You're out"—this book is for anyone who appreciates the spirit of the game.
Download or read book Sam Learns Golf A Children s Book of Basic Golf Rules Terms and Etiquette written by Jason Beisel and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sam lives on a golf course and has a best friend, Max, who is a golf ball. When Dad asks Sam to play in the big tournament with him, he explains that there is more to golf than just hitting a golf ball high and far. With the help of Max and some new friends, golf rules, terms, and etiquette are revealed so that Sam will be ready for the big day. By the end of the book, Sam realizes that there are still things to learn, but now understands what Dad was talking about. Sam Learns Golf was written as a book that could be either read to toddlers or read by young children - (it's also a great tool for those parents or grandparents who want to plant the golfing seed into a future golfer's little mind). By playing a hole that is right behind the house, Sam's new friends are able to explain some of the important, but sometimes not so utilized, rules and etiquette. They touch upon the major points of golf: the parts of the golf hole, scoring, upkeep of the golf course, and more. After finishing the first real hole of golf, Sam realizes that there is a lot more to the game than just "gripping it and ripping it." Among other things, Sam learns about consideration of other golfers and the fact that every shot isn't going to be perfect. The friends walk Sam through the basic rules and principles of the game and also introduce a mental approach that will make the game more enjoyable.
