From Booklist
The Palmer name on a golf book is certain to draw a crowd, but this time it's the contents as much as the celebrity author that merit attention. The rules of golf appear simple--there are only 34 of them--but, in fact, they conceal a minefield of possible interpretations. Displaying an engaging, anecdotal style, Palmer takes the reader through all the rules, discussing possible trouble spots and supplying examples from golf history. We learn, for example, that Ian Woosnam, in the 2001 British Open, was hardly the first pro to be penalized for having too many clubs in his bag. Johnny Miller met the same fate when it was discovered that he was carrying his son's toy driver along with his own clubs. Similar stories illustrate each rule as Palmer works his way from the differences between match and medal play through to what it means (and doesn't mean) to play the ball as it lies. A potentially boring topic (even for golfers) made fascinating by one of the game's legends. Bill Ott

Product Description
When exactly is a ball considered "lost"?
When is a "drop" allowed?
How does one define "slow play"?
These are just a few of the common -- and not-so-common -- questions answered by golfing legend Arnold Palmer in this comprehensive illustrated guide to the rules of the game. Despite the fact that golf has fewer rules than sports like baseball or football, it is a contest of honor, and all players, from tour professionals to weekend hackers, respect the rules. But, as Palmer points out, sometimes the rules are a little confusing -- and from time to time, even the pros are puzzled.
Here, in easy-to-follow language, one of golf's greats explains exactly what every golfer should know about the way the game should be played. Also included are anecdotes Palmer has culled from his own career, as well as the infamous moments in golf history that have helped define and test each rule.
If you're one of the millions of avid golfers who take to the links every year, need a clear explanation of all the rules of the game you love, and don't want to be left speechless when an argument over the "coefficient of restitution" pops up, then Playing by the Rules is an invaluable guide you'll refer to time and again.
