Publisher's Note Comprehensive, definitive, indispensable - the ultimate authority for any tricky playing situation, now with all 62 generally accepted exceptions to the official rules of golf, including these important new stroke-saving provisions: Agreement to Re-tee (Mass Mulligan), Junk Ball (Milken), Temporary Insanity (John Daly Drive), Stolen Ball (Filchies), Unfairway (Pete Dye Lie), Paranoid Shot (Heebie-jeebies), Misplaced Ball (Houdini), Suicidal Shot (Kevorkian), Environmental Hazard (Ecologically Sensitive Shot), and Autonomous Concession (Semi-gimme). Also: Special sections detailing acceptable relief during slow play and when breaking in new clubs, plus an entirely new chapter, "Commonsense Etiquette".
Tired of being beaten by an honest game of golf, self-proclaimed hacker Henry Beard figured that he didnt need a new swing--his game just needed a new set of rules. With The Official Exceptions to the Rules of Golf, he created a bible for the sensible golfer who doesnt have time to lose. Youll learn how to cope with pesky influences: missed shots and lost balls that wreak havoc on your score. Did you search unsuccessfully for your ball in the fairway? Don't panic. All you have to do is declare that it is a Ball Missing in Fairway But Obviously Not Lost (Exception #6) and drop another ball into the approximate spot where it must have landed. What could make more sense? Filled with fair rules, this is the book that every practical golfer must have.
