The Official Guidebook to the Rules of Golf Flexibound – January 1, 2019

Following seven years of consultations, the governing bodies of the Rules of golf will implement the most comprehensive Rules changes seen in the game for 37 years.

In a bid to make the Rules more accessible and straightforward The R&A and USGA have reworded every Rule and made alterations which will affect the way every golfer in the world plays the game - that's some 60 million people.

The Rules will be reduced from 34 to 24 and some of the changes will create ripples throughout the world of sport. They include:

  • Reduction of "ball moved" penalties.
  • Relaxed putting green rules.
  • Relaxed bunker rules.
  • A bigger reliance on a player's "reasonable judgment".
  • Reduced search times.
  • The abandonment of the "furthest from the hole plays first" etiquette in favour of "ready golf".
  • Relaxed procedure for dropping the ball.

The Official Guidebook to the Rules of Golf will be the only complete official guide to all the Rules and their interpretations. It includes guidelines for committees and modified Rules for players with disabilities.

This is the book that every serious golfer will need.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rules of Golf book review
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024
Verified Purchase
This Rules of Golf book is excellent. It is small enough to fit in your back pocket, so you can take it with you out on the golf course as a ready reference. I also have the USGA Official Guide to the Rules of Golf, but it is too cumbersome to take to the golf course.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard to find things in the book
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2019

The format is really different. It is very hard for me to find where the rules are. It would be very, very helpful to have tabs for the different sections. I also liked the index in the old decisions book. It’s much harder to find things you’re looking for.

A complete book on rules of golf for home reading. A large book. If you want a golf rules book you can carry in your golf bag, you need to purchase a pocket sized book.

Knowledge is Power… and on the golf course, Knowledge means Less Strokes.
Knowing the game and the rules of the game can get you out of a lot of trouble on the course and take a few strokes off your game(or add a few)!
Great book

This is a very good source to have, the actual rules instead of the short version which tries to summarize the rules. Actually I have both, and in that way better able to understand the Rules of Golf. Thanks.

not much to say, due to the fact, that it's a book about the rules. However, the cover is good and durable, which helps to keep the book in good condition for referees, who use it "daily".
