There’s no denying that golf’s rule book is a significant tome. The Official Guide to the Rules of Golf – the one that contains Clarifications, Committee Procedures and Model Local Rules – stretches to over 500 pages of A5.
Even the simple Rules book with definitions is 250 pages long. But there’s a great deal to cover. The number of possible scenarios a player may encounter on the golf course is perhaps not limitless, but the possibilities are vast.
