This review is from: The Official Duffer's Rules of Golf, as Approved by the United States Duffer's Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of West Divot, Florida (Paperback)

Really cute little book w/ drawings depicting funny scenes from things you've probably encountered before while golfing. Cute enough to copy into a card, flyer, bulletin or etc. Covers silly etiquette topics such as slapping mosquitoes, psychology on the green, helping your opponent lose. Gives funny definations on the duffer, a Mulligan, a Gimmie, Sandbagger, Sand Traps, Divots, Bunkers, Out-of-bounds, Waggles, Addressing the ball, bad lies, Yips, Rub of the Green, Fore, Teed Off, Woods, Handicaps, Double and Triple Bogies, Pars, Birdies, Eagles, Hole-in-One's, Windmills, Honor, Drives. Uses rules in scenarios such as agreeing to waive rules, unimprovable situations, impaired vision, superstitions allowed, lost balls, disputes-decisions-doubts, discouraging jogging on the green, throwing golf clubs in extenuating circumstances, alligators-mad dogs-bee hives, entitlements by being hit by the ball or nearly hit, sizing up the caddie (Eager Beaver/Ancient Mariner/ or Pro's Son), and rights of Spouses. Lots of laugh for the serious or not-so-serious golfer.
