Have a Go – Rules Quiz


rulesA Quiz that may be undertaken (no login required) to get a taste for the Questions and Quizzes available (I’ll change the question pool from time to time).
These are predominantly constructed to support Referees, Club Officials and keen golfers to better understand the Definitions and Rules of Golf.
Each time the Quiz is undertaken, a random selection of 5 questions is taken from a specified (small) pool.

Four fictitious players are used for the questions: David, Greg, Liz and Jill.

Ideal to take this Quiz with a small group, discussing the scenarios and coming up with a well informed response.
Use the ‘
speaker icon‘ to have the question read out aloud.
When the Quiz is submitted, the result will be shown and with each question showing a descriptive answer which will include pertinent links back to the R&A web site for a thorough understanding on how the decision is made.
A great way to obtain a better understanding/appreciation of the Rules of Golf.
Important:  The responses/answers given are based on applying the Official Rules of Golf.
