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.

[ 🤔  A new question every Monday ]

Women Discussing GolfLiz and Jill are playing as a side in a four-ball stroke round.
At start time, only Jill is on time and starts the round. Liz arrives during the playing of the fourth hole and is therefore permitted to play for the side on the fifth hole.
During the playing of the eighth hole, Jill now realises she has been playing with 15 clubs (since her round began).
She immediately and correctly takes a club out of play. Before the ninth hole is started, they discuss any penalties that need to be applied.

What penalty is applied?

[ 🤔  A new question every Monday ]

Penalty AreaDavid is playing stroke.
His poor tee stroke comes to rest in a nearby red penalty area.
He compliantly takes lateral penalty area relief and this stroke again ends up in the same penalty area.
This time he decides to take back-on-line penalty relief.
He correctly determines the line and drops a ball, first making contact with the ground 30cm (1 foot) from this line, and comes to rest on the line and not closer to the hole.
He now plays that ball back to the fairway and takes 3 more strokes to complete the hole.

What is David’s score for the hole?
