Tom Watson explains all the rules, including rules governing match play and stroke play, rules about equipment, slow play, practice, rules about teeing the ball, lost balls, ground under repair, unplayable lies, playing the wrong ball, water hazards and bunkers. This book addresses every conceivable situation - including what happens if a seagull (or Airedale or mischievous child) makes off with that perfect drive straight down the middle. Watson does more than present the rules. He explains them using anecdotes drawn from his career as a professional, describing actual situations where infractions or interpretations of the rules have played a role in the outcome of the major tournaments.
