“Playing by the rules is the everyday business for professional players. But getting to know the rules is also important for amateurs. First of all, they can use them to their advantage and secondly it shows respect for the spirit of the game. This book will help you gain a better understanding of the rules—which sometimes even seem confusing to the pros—and will help you to achieve better scores.”

Gary Player, golf legend and Grand Slam Winner

“As a tour player I am always conscious of the fact that comprehensive knowledge of the rules, and applying them correctly, can be a decisive factor in winning or losing a game. If you previously had your work cut out getting to grips with the rules, you cannot fail to understand them if you use Yves’s book. Avoid unnecessary penalty strokes and use the rules to your advantage—then you’ll always be up there amongst the winners.”

Alex Cejka, tour professional

“Sport is a training ground for real life. The game of golf, with its unique code of honour and its strict rules of play, is an excellent example of this—since in both sport and in everyday life playing by the rules is vital. This book explains the rules and the etiquette in a way which is easy to understand and which will add to your enjoyment of the game of golf.”
