The Definitive International Reference

More than just a book, a practical guide, or a reference manual, The Illustrated Golf Rules Dictionary is as essential to the golfer as a putter and a good pair of spikes. This book is for anyone who ever wondered "what do I do in this situation"-in other words, anyone who has ever played the game.

It is not surprising that the majority of golfers find the rules of golf difficult to learn; there are thirty-four rules and more than one hundred sections, one hundred subsections and two thousand explanatory decisions in the game of golf-hands-down the most complicated sport today. The Golf Rules Dictionary is not only for those who don't know a tee marker from a Texas Scramble, but for the seasoned enthusiast who realizes that a book in hand is worth at least two in the rough. No more quibbling over procedures and penalty strokes-with this book you will have the definitive answer right at your fingertips in mere moments.

This unique and fully comprehensive book, with easy-to-find alphabetical listings, explains the complex rules of the sport in the most simple and practical of terms. Photos and illustrations accompany entries, and color-coded keys explain basic rules, penalties, and procedures for the actual problems golfers experience. Topics covered include: * Bunkers, water hazards, and other course elements * Official rulings on the line of play, preferred lie and replacing the ball * Understanding and using a standard scorecard * Determining and applying your handicap * Explanations of the most popular games

Ignorance of the rules and procedures will only impair your score, and threaten even the most amiable of course partnerships. A must-have for golfers of all ages and abilities, The Illustrated Golf Rules Dictionary ensures a complete understanding and enjoyment of the game-both on and off the course.
