We are a laid back league, but we do play by the USGA/R&A Official Rules of Golf. Do you need to be an expert? No. But you should have a general grasp of the rules. You should know how to take relief from a cart path. You should know your options for both a red or yellow penalty areas. You should know how to deal with a ball played out of bounds (yes, we use Model Local Rule E-5). How can you gain this knowledge before next week’s Am-Am? Glad you asked. Check out the USGA’s Rules 101 here: https://rules.usga.org/courses/rules-101/. This interactive series will tell you all about the basic rules of the game.
