LOVE THE GAME OF GOLF
Well, 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 and associated Quiz sets and with plenty more to follow in due course: polls, surveys, blogs, newsletters and Quiz Night sheets.
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 took this opportunity to also overhaul the site structure, layout, stability, data conforming and security. It was eventually republished on 3rd May 2023.
Questions are constructed with a lively nature and presence. They include images and detailed solutions, including active ruling links back to the R&A’s Rules of Golf.
Random Question Quizzes are categorised as easy, intermediate and challenging and these are generally established for seasoned Rules Officials.
Quiz questions are randomly taken from categorised pools which are being added too regularly.
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’.
Coming soon will be user customised quizzes.
Here’s the quiz index.
Features:
Users can monitor their progress in Quizzes undertaken. You’ll need to be a registered user to utilise this feature.
Users may submit an question query directly from the question.
Users may also contribute their own questions online for publication consideration.
A rules resource has been developed. This provides a collection of resources to further enhance the learning of the game for all golfers and officials.
As always, constructive feedback and suggestions for future development are always welcome.
⛳ Have a go …. enjoy yourself

What’s your decision?
18th November 2024
[ ⛳ A new question every Monday ]
On a windy day, David and Greg are playing as a side in a four-ball stroke round.
On the second hole, both players’ balls are close to each other. In discussing their next stroke, Greg uses a handkerchief to determine wind strength and direction.
During the fourth hole, a similar scenario occurs where David helps Greg in making his next stroke by using a handkerchief to determine wind strength and direction.
What penalties, if any, are applied?
ANSWER
Both David and Greg are disqualified from the round.
On the second hole, Greg gets a 2-stroke penalty for using the handkerchief [Rule: 4.3a(2) .. see penalty statement at end ].
Also, as this has helped David's play, David also gets the same penalty [Rule: 23.9a(2)].
On the fourth hole, the same penalty applies to both David and Greg again.
David and Jill have now both breached this [Rule: 4.3a(2)] on 2 occasions and with an intervening event (completion of a stroke) [Rule: 1.3c(4)].
Therefore the side is disqualified from the round [Rule: 23.9b(1)].
Both David and Greg are disqualified from the round.
