999 Updated Questions On The Rules Of Golf 2014 2015

Most golfers would like to know the Rules of Golf better. '999 Updated Questions on the Rules of Golf 2012 - 2015' is the smart way to learn the Rules because it is easy to dip in and out of, contains interesting scenarios, many of which readers will recognise and relate to, and the format will appeal to the competitive side of most golfers. There are questions, answers and most importantly, explanations to the myriad situations that occur on the course that golfers may encounter. Answers are conveniently located immediately beneath each question and are directly referenced to the applicable Rule of Golf, the Decision on the Rule, or the appropriate Definition. The questions are tiered into three knowledge levels; there are 333 simple questions that every golfer should be familiar with; there are 333 more difficult questions relevant to both casual golfers and Golf Club members; and there are 333 advanced questions for those seeing to expand their knowledge of the Rules. For variety, the questions are further subdivided into three formats; true or false, open answer and multiple choice. A detailed index provides an easy and convenient way for readers to reference specific situations as they arise. There are multiple questions on every one of the 126 sub-sections to the 34 Rules of Golf, all of them updated for the amendments to the Rules that became effective from 1st January 2012 and the amendments to the Decisions that became effective 1st January 2014. My mission is that this Book will assist all golfers, whatever their level of ability, to enjoy their sport more, improve their scores and help preserve the integrity of the fantastic game of Golf. Barry Rhodes

This book will assist all golfers, whatever their level of ability, to enjoy their sport more and improve their scores.

Following the success of my first book, '999 Questions on the Rules of Golf', which was first published in 2009 and has since been regularly updated with the amendments to the Rules of Golf and the Decisions on the Rules of Golf, I have been encouraged to follow it up with these 999 new questions in an entirely different format, which I think readers will find even more interesting and easy to understand. In this new book, the questions, answers, and most importantly, the explanations of the appropriate rulings, are divided into easy to reference sections with 9 questions about each of 111 different Rules subjects, some of which are listed on the front cover, as an indication of the contents. This format has proved to be the most popular of the three, free 'Rhodes Rules School' series that I email weekly to over 10,000 subscribers. There is something here for golfers of all playing abilities and for those who wish to become their Club Rules expert, or even match and tournament officials. I can promise that as you read through this book, taking one section of 9 questions at a time, you will obtain a better understanding of the Rules of Golf, which you can then take onto the course to improve not just your score, but also your enjoyment of the unique game of golf, where players are expected to respect and abide by the Rules more than in any other sport. Judging by the comments that I am receiving on a daily basis, readers are also finding the Kindle format of '999 More Questions' easy to read, not just on their laptops or tablets, but most importantly on the smart phones and eReaders that they carry with them wherever they go. Good Golfing, Barry Rhodes www.barryrhodes.com

The author of Dirt Music and The Riders captures the urgency of memory and the way an entire life can be shaped by one event from the past in this capsule of connected stories set on the coast of Western Australia. Tim Winton's stunning collection of connected stories is about turnings of all kinds—changes of heart, slow awakenings, nasty surprises and accidents, sudden detours, resolves made or broken. Brothers cease speaking to each other, husbands abandon wives and children, grown men are haunted by childhood fears. People struggle against the weight of their own history and try to reconcile themselves to their place in the world. With extraordinary insight and tenderness, Winton explores the demons and frailties of ordinary people whose lives are not what they had hoped.

Mark Twain had it all wrong: golf is not a good walk spoiled, golf is a journey. And when Ireland provides the map it becomes an 11,000km odyssey for one man in a camper van. Kevin plays every 18-hole golf course in Ireland in all kinds of weather and with all kinds of golfers. He deals with a leaky roof, potholes, born-again Christians and even an Irish mammy. Ireland's beauty shines through but the people encountered along the way, the golf clubs visited and the idiosyncrasies of a twenty-year-old camper van form the fairways on which this story plays. From tee-off to putting the final hole, this is a true Irish golfing adventure.
