During the winter months, inclement weather and the lack of daylight hours frequently conspire to keep us off the golf course.
Being stuck inside doesn’t mean we can’t still stay connected to the game, though. This winter when plunging temperatures or a less-than-ideal forecast has you hunkered down at home, use the downtime to brush up on your Rules of Golf knowledge.
A fun and engaging way to develop and test your comprehension is with the USGA’s Rules Quizzes. These interactive, multiple-choice, and easy-to-navigate quizzes are available in basic, intermediate, and advanced difficulty levels. The quizzes can provide another path to learning the rules and be an effective way to boost motivation and increase retention for those who might be intimidated at the thought of studying the official rule book.
Every golfer, no matter what skill level, should know the basics of the Rules of Golf. A sound knowledge of the Rules is essential to preserve the integrity and enjoyment of the game and will allow you to deal with situations you most regularly encounter on the course. It may even save you a few strokes on occasion!
The USGA Rules Quizzes are designed to engage anyone who is interested in learning more about the Rules, from beginners to everyday golfers to aspiring officials and referees.
