 Invaluable...Mar 13, 2004
Quite simply the best reference book on the rules of golf I've ever seen. The simple alphabetic order, easy readability, colour coded layout of its explanations (including numerous practical examples), and excellent cross-referencing mean that the rules applying to virtually any situation you encounter on the course can be accessed and understood in a couple of minutes max - often faster. I can't think of a situation, no matter how obscure, that it's failed to deliver on. Its speed of referencing and compact size mean that you can carry it in your bag and use it "live" to quickly solve any confusion or misunderstanding. An excellent and invaluable golfing aid.
