Golf Rules Illustrated (Usga)

Where better than an official publication of the United States Golf Association to learn the rules of golf? Only here will you find the updated complete rules as revised in 2000 and more than 100 illustrations designed to make understanding them even easier. Best of all, there's a particular emphasis on those situations that always seem to cause difficulty for golfers of all levels. Obstructions, bunkers, out of bounds, lost balls, unplayable balls, water hazards, loose impediments, casual waters--this is just some of what you'll find. There are also explanations of when and how you can legally improve your lie, winter rules, and much more. Whether you're engaged in stroke play or match play, in a friendly foursome or fighting for your club championship, a knowledge of the rules will increase your enjoyment of the game--and maybe even take a few strokes off your score.
