[Nikole Michelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very comprehensive, a good reference book for any beginner. At times, a bit dry. Would’ve also been more helpful if there were more visuals.

Golf inspires so many books because its target audience tends to have the money to buy them and time to read them. Most offer no real insight or help to the beginner golfer. This little known tome stands as an exception. Step by step the authors walk through the intricacies of the game's rules of etiquette that, as a whole, are taken very seriously by its practitioners. More importantly, they give the reader a practical insight as to the relative importance of the each rule so that you know which are normally ignored and in what circumstances. A practical primer on the complex rules of the game also comes in handy as the authors use understandable examples and deliver a realistic assessment of their practical importance. In short, the book will be one of the few you can actually use out on the course.

I am a beginner and appreciated how the authors were able to keep the narrative light without deterring from the essential do's and don'ts of everyday golfing. The etiquette is unique and a little daunting if you are used to sports that are more athletic and aggressive by nature.
I enjoyed the selected quotes the most, they were just as humorous as they were relevant to the chapter at hand.
Read this book if you want to avoid learning these tips the hard way by embarrassing yourself on the course every so often.
