Here’s a space and opportunity for golfers of all persuasions to review, interact, contribute, resolve scenarios, and seek support for issues associated with this great game.
Site focus is the 2023 Rules of Golf essentially using Quiz sets along with other supporting resources.

GolfHelp does not compete with or challenge other golf resource sites. It has evolved out of a passion for the game and is designed to complement what is already in place supporting all golfers to better understand the game.

GolfHelp was conceived and developed in early in 2022 whilst COVID took its toll on golf events around the world. With feedback and new ideas, it continued to evolve.
The introduction of the revised Rules of Golf in January 2023 realised a need to undertake a major overhaul of the quiz question base.

I also took this opportunity to overhaul the site structure, layout, stability, data conforming and security. It was eventually republished on 3rd May 2023.

Happy Cart GolfersQuestions are constructed with a lively manner utilising actual scenarios. They include images and detailed solutions, including active Ruling links back to the R&A’s Rules of Golf.

There are a variety of Quiz formats: multiple choice, true/false, turbo true/false, knockout true/false, timed true/false, golf trivia (not rules based), certificate options and the popular ‘Who Am I’.

Golf Ball on PathLiz is playing stroke and is using a caddie.
Liz has correctly determined the relief area for interference by an immovable obstruction.
Whilst collecting an appropriate club, the caddie drops a ball for Liz which comes to rest just outside the required relief area.
Liz lifts the ball and drops it herself, again the ball comes to rest just outside the relief area.
Liz lifts the ball and places it on the spot in the relief area where her drop first made contact with the ground. Liz now plays that ball.
