I found this book to be helpful.

Golf Rules & Etiquette Simplified by John Companiotte is a thin volume. Newbies could carry it in their golf bags to help them as they're learning the game though most newbies probably don't want to admit they don't actually know the rules. Companiotte makes it easy to understand the basic rules and etiquette of playing a round of golf. The book isn't comprehensive, but it should answer most questions that arise on the course. Golf Rules & Etiquette Simplified is easy to read and thorough enough to provide a little more confidence to the learning golfer and perhaps even more seasoned golfers who have always wondered if their buddies simply made up the rules as they went along.

If you're a beginner golfer like me, you'll need this book. Very helpful in learning the rules. It includes a chapter on the evolution of the rules that's very interesting. Need to keep this book (it's small) in my golf bag.
