The Rules of Golf in Plain English Reviews

"The Rules of Golf in Plain English, cowritten by Jeffrey S. Kuhn and Bryan A. Garner, deciphers the heretofore indecipherable.... It brings order and clarity to the Rules of Golf as mandated by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. Others have tried to explain and interpret the rules. This book is the first word-by-word translation of rules that have confounded players for centuries." (Steve Campbell, Houston Chronicle) "If most of us had a dollar for every time we resolved to read the USGA rulebook - and didn't - we could have paid for this godsend from trial lawyer Jeffrey S. Kuhn and Black's Law Dictionary editor-in-chief Bryan A. Garner ten times over. Recognizing obscure writing when they see it, the pair have taken on the rules of golf's 'sometimes wooden, legalistic and opaque' style and translated it deftly, simplifying but not oversimplifying. It's a good read unspoiled." (Golf World) "It's a shame that this book is even necessary, but it sure beats reading the official rules of golf." (Craig Smith, Seattle Times) "If these two guys could just address the IRS and income tax forms, I smell bonanza." (Sports Illustrated) "Clear, useful, and very authoritative." (David Fay, Former Executive Director, USGA)"
