In "The Rules of Golf in Plain English", first published in 2004, lawyers and avid golfers Jeffrey S. Kuhn and Bryan A. Garner translated the knotty "Rules of Golf" with the encouragement and permission of the United States Golf Association. The result was a modern, readable version of the Rules that offered clear guidance to both amateur and professional golfers.Every four years, the official Rules of Golf are revised, and the latest changes are scheduled to take effect January 1, 2008. This new edition of "The Rules of Golf in Plain English" will incorporate all the rule changes made for that update. Timely, comprehensive, and small enough to fit into a golf bag, "The Rules of Golf" will be appreciated by duffer and pro alike."Deciphers the heretofore indecipherable...It brings order and clarity to the Rules of Golf as mandated by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. Others have tried to explain and interpret the rules. This book is the first word-by-word translation of rules that have confounded players for centuries." - Steve Campbell, "Houston Chronicle".
