How does a conscientious golfer learn the Rules of Golf? Most players learn the ROG through years of play and experience. While, perhaps, they cannot cite a specific Rule by number, they have a general understanding of how to play the game. Even veteran players, however, find themselves scratching their heads from time to time with both the predictable and unpredictable situations that arise on a golf course! Certainly, the best way to learn the ROG is to study the actual texts of the Rules and Decisions. This commitment is not one that can be taken lightly or casually, however, as the ROG are complex and intertwined, and not necessarily best understood by reading from A to Z. "I Think That's a Penalty" introduces the ROG in a different format ... an actual 18-hole match play competition between good golfers who, to put it bluntly, have a bad rules day! Readers will recognize the real-golf situations these players face, and find rulings for further play and scoring supported by references to the Rules and Decisions ...an ideal introduction to the ROG for the novice, or a helpful and humorous tutorial reminder for even the seasoned golfing veteran.
