17. should do more of these. its one of the things golfers think they know but do not, thats the rules. golfers just seam to pick them up as they play. read the book one hour a week is good enough
Thanks Roger
19/20 although surely the advice question they should both get the general penalty
Im a very honest golfer and know the rules like the back of my hand. I got 21 correct.
Black Jack! hahaha
13 of 20. Great quiz. I really enjoy the rules series you do. It's a tremendous help (although it appears I may need to pay closer attention to them when watched.) I recently played in a tournament and was paired with a person who had recently completed a USGA rules course. He was an incredibly invaluable resource, as he was able to offer direction on options in a variety of situations. It made me much more interested in having a more comprehensive understanding of the rules.
Useful video on new rules. Thanks
Loved it .. I learned a lot here. I know there is a lot more to learn.
Thanks. Got 19 but a good refresher. Would like some more on lost balls out of bounds etc
Very good test and well explained. Thank you.
16/20. A very relevant quiz, more of them please.
12, this waa nice...please do more of these quizzes.
Quiz very helpful. training important to get familiar with rules. 16/20 have to keep learning. Thanks for a new quiz were we can push one of the alternatives button and at the end get our result
Very insightful!!! Great learning session.
Glad you enjoyed it!
good stuff! thanks, keep up the good work. More rules videos please!
Thanks! Will do!
pls ore of these.. love it
14 more of these this is great 👍
GREAT questions.
13: room for improvement! Enjoyed it, learnt from it. More please.
Thanks Joe
I missed 2. I'm kind of proud of that. In 1997 I scored 100% on the PGA of America's Rules Test. But the rules of golf are fluid. Ever evolving into being more and more thorough and complete.
The PGA Head Professional I was working under at the time was Jeff Taylor.
Something he told me to have in the forefront of my mind when determining the rules of golf.
"The Rules of Golf were never intended to harm the player, rather their purpose is to protect the field. "
Must have worked, I killed it !! Lol...
14/20. Apparently, I need to reread the rules surrounding bunkers. More quizzes please. This was fun and informative.
Great. Glad you enjoyed it!
15/20, very good quiz, a good refresher.
Good reminders of those rules. I guessed wrong with quite some of rules. Interesting.
Excellent stuff Neil and really useful, which my golf pals will be checking out. Question 14 was a surprise as thought this was a complete taboo.
Great. Thanks Mark!
only 11 correct. thought I knew more. Keep this coming. Even basic drop rules, or more common ones we come across.
15 right answers. Good information, and a good one to repeat with other questions.
Thanks Anthony!
Thanks for the quiz, it was a great refresher. I got 19 correct.
These are great & make some more about RED vs Yellow Stakes & out of bounds options.
Just completed my level 2 rules exam (Feb) so this was a great refresher. Managed 20/20 so very pleased that I’ve remembered enough of the rules despite not playing for weeks. Great YT channel especially the rules... 😀
Guess I won't be coming back as a rules referee, 7/20 terrible!!
Fantastic!
great video..well done! Lockdown has some positives!
Thanks John - glad you enjoyed it!
19/20 - Useful review of common rules
17... nice quiz very helpful, thanks
I didn't keep track, but this quiz did answer some questions I've always had - one was the one where the ball came to rest against the flagstick and the other was about practicing putting and chipping after finishing a hole - something I've always done (when the next tee was full) but always worried that someone would yell at me. Now I can say, "read rule 5.5b." Rule 5.5b DOES, however, have the appended admonition, "But such practice strokes must not be made from a bunker and must not unreasonably delay play (see Rule 5.6a)" - which makes sense. I only ever do it if there's no one closely following. Good info, thanks.
Great vid learnt a lot will come in handy if I ever play a serious or a comp round
Thanks Grant, glad you enjoyed it
18. V enjoyable. Learned a couple of things !
There were definitely a few surprises in terms of the ruling. Thank you
You're very welcome
Good quiz questions that are in the main relevant. Degree of difficulty about right. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Learned a lot, got quite a few wrong. More of these quizzes, pls
Great video. Could you please do a video on rules that are different between PGA/USGA and the R&A.
Hi Dan - they are the same. The USGA and The R&A produce the rule book together
PGA plays by USGA / R&A Rules.
The PGA does employ some Local Rules due to Spectators, and Temporary Structures for Tournament and Television.
Nice one
Wow! I suck at the rules of golf. I got a bunch of them wrong, but I learned a few things. Thanks.
18 of 20, wish my playing partners would take the test, a refresher on the rules could be helpful.
20/20. Relieved because I recently did USGA rules exam. The rules have changed substantially since I took it first in 1999!
That is just brilliant. Well done.
love the Quiz, got all but #11, good to know as I would have played it as it lies, now I can have relief, stay safe, from Kansas usa
18 correct. and quiz very good.
17 of 20, good quiz, was a rules official at one time
Great stuff, 18 out of 20. Delighted!
Great job!
Enjoyed that even though I only managed a measly 12 points! Good stuff with some lessons learnt.👍🏻
Thanks Gary!
18 correct will do better next time
Do these more pls
Fantastic quiz Neil!! Got 15/20. Have a question on #19. Can I use a foot spray to understand the impact?
NOT during Play.
Okay on the Practice Tee / Range.
Remember to clean the Powder off before using it on the First Tee.
12, sticker on club face was interesting, I had a lesson a few months back and my pro added the dots for GC Quad, I've not removed them so should I be disqualified from every competitive round since???
Great Question.
For "Formal Competition", I imagine those GC Quad Dots do make the Club non-conforming, because of the possibility of a Dot between Ball and Face, with an off center strike.
16/20. Very interesting, and informative.
Good quiz👍. Caught me out on a few. Ended up 15/20. Quite pleased with that. 😄😄👏
Great job!
So where do you place the embedded ball just above the bunker? Nearest point of relief, no closer to hole, on the same area of the course-so either on the side of, or behind the bunker?
17/20 Thank you for enlightening me in this way. Very much needed and appreciated.
You’re welcome 😊
Great quiz 17 correct
17/20, so not too bad. I have a question. In question 20, if, when he fell into the bunker he had a) touched his ball or b) improved his stance, what would the penalty have been?
I’m glad I got most of these correct, as I’m going to be playing in my first tourneys this summer; that is if they go on...
Well done!
My score was 18 out of 20 and one of those was just the number of penalty strokes I said one and it was two for touching the sand in the backswing....wonder how many people do that in a round and it goes without penalty never mind one???? The other was the ball marker question i thought that you could leave something there but as you point out it must be artificial . Great quiz and good to get the answers straight after it is a good way of leaning...thanks for your efforts fantastic magazine.
Too easy, got them all right. Good job!!
Great effort!
Top marks for Fergus on some of the acting to illustrate. 17 & 20 in particular. Like these as much better way to stick in the brain
Excellent
Thanks
14/20, and I've never played golf lol. I just watched some videos about the ruling.
4:27 I thought that this is legal now? Or is it just in the penalty areas?
I did answer most of the rules as I had seen some videos before, actually it's more of logic than rigidity.
Question 7: If one was to touch the sand on the backswing but hole out the shot (continuing the full swing) does the hole out count with the two-stroke penalty or do you have to put the ball back and replay the shot? Please include the reference. Thank you
Yes, it would count. The reference is in Rule 12.2b where it details the penalty as the general penalty with no requirement to replay the stroke
19, just got the loose impediment used to mark ball on green wrong. May have been worth noting that the quiz is based on the extant rules as implemented 1 Jan 2019. Also could be useful to say where a rule was changed in 2019 for some people who have not yet bothered to acquaint themselves with the latest version, e.g. grounding club in penalty areas, damaged clubs, hitting sand in bunker in anger. Also worth noting that practising chipping and putting between holes is only permissible if it does not unreasonably delay play.
11/20 Gees! I need to go back to school!!!
Only got 11 correct, and one was a bit of a guess. Been golfing for 35 years and thought I knew more. Some rules are less punitive than I thought. I probably penalized myself in the past when I didn't need to. Signed up to be a rules official in Michigan (GAM) but now, not as confident as I was when I signed up. Lots of homework to do :(
Achieved 20/20. My comment would be that you should consider adding more detail to your commentary like the size and location of the Relief Area. I see too many players interpreting Free Relief and the spot for their Reference Point a little too liberally. For example, in your sixth question you cite getting Free Relief from an Immoveable Obstruction based on the fact that the sign interferes with his stroke. I see too many players interpreting the Reference Point for their stance as usually being either left or right of the Immoveable Obstruction and hence perhaps a couple of feet away from where their ball was whereas the Nearest Point of Relief could be 2 inches Back-on-Line. Once you have identified your Nearest Point of Relief, mark it and then you have a one club-length, no closer to the pin Relief Area.
For question 19, can you use foot spray?
I got 17 in 20. Thanks for the quiz!
11 out of 20 with the potential for 1 more that I did know but answered incorrectly . Good quiz … Thanks
Great video, i scores 16/20.
Regarding Q19 - impact tape/sticker on the club face resulting in the club being deemed a non confirming club due to an external attachment I was wondering if that then also effect things such as lead tape which players frequently use and also lots of people put a band of durable tape around their shafts to prevent bag rub on the shaft, can anyone enlighten me as to whether this constitutes the same infringement of the rules or not..?
wayne frost I looked it up “Is lead tape allowed? The USGA stipulates in Rule 14-3 that “Lead tape may be applied to the head or shaft of the club for the purpose of adding weight (see Decisions 4-1/4 and 4-2/0.5)”.Aug 9, 2019” -golf digest
@@tylerwalker8223 but not during the round
Lorne Willison I’m pretty sure you can as long as it’s applied before the round and dose not come off until after the round because if you look at the tour vokeys they have a guy who puts lead tape on their wedges and stamps logos into them so I’m pretty sure it’s legal
Thanks Tyler, that is what I meant by “not during the round”
And I meant to say you cannot add or remove tape during the round.😀
14/20 happy enough with that, interesting video
Thanks!
Can't wait to show a fellow golfer number 11, before lock down this happened to me in a comp and a fellow golfer said I had to play it as it lies (plugged in the face) I tried to hit it and obviously had a disaster hole,, :/ but glad to know now :)
Remember the Difference here is the Ball was Embedded in the Grass Area ABOVE the Bunker.
A Ball Embedded in the Sand Face would either have to be played as it lies, or use a Penalty Relief option.
I thought I was pretty good with the rules but only got 13. What a great quiz.
15 of 20.
correct me if im wrong, but pat reed was only assessed 1 stroke per infraction when he brushed sand out from behind his ball. shouldnt it have been 4 total penalty strokes, or is the penalty only assessed once per shot? what am i missing here?
12 so room for improvement - I didn't think you were allowed to ground the club in a penalty area though (question 2) - has that rule changed? Good refresher - you should do more of these.
Hello - yes, that Rule changed in Jan 2019 at the same time hazards became penalty areas
I missed 2 questions. However the last question on falling in the number was confusing. Assuming he fell where he was going to take his stance how is it not improving your stance by smoothing then digging our feet in?
17 need to learn more. :D
13 .A few extradinary ones .Practice putting I didn't think that was allowed
Regarding Q15, it might be better if the fact that the flagsick is specified as having been removed from the hole and is lying on the ground. I understood that the flagstick had been removed from the hole after the player had played his shot.
Fair point Andrew - thanks for watching!
Is the #14 putting practice an R&A only rule or also USGA? Why don't more pros take extra practice putts, I only see this done in match play.
14/20 not bad I dont think. Nice questions got you thinking.
Thanks Paul!
Only 11/20. Funny I was a 1ST Team All-American in college but medicine has kept me from playing much at all for the past 30 years. Retired in march...did not want to keep wearing all the Covid-19 protection equipment etc. Hopefully retirement improves my golf game. I last played when the pin had to be out of the hole or tended.
heres one.. if a ball is plugged but on the day there is no lift clean and place or replace, is the player allowed to do so even if ball is plugged in mud or sometimes wet grass or soft grass? and same for ball plugged on the green?
You can remove your ball from an embedded lie without penalty unless you are in a bunker or penalty area
I play 4 days a week and have played for some 60 years. I got abut half right. I did not count but I got way more wrong than I thought. I thought that you could not use a damaged club during a round if you caused the damage. I thought that the person who asked for advice got the penalty. I thought that you could mark a ball with a leaf or twig that was on the green if you did not have a ball marker available. Thanks for the review.
Any recommendations on print versions of The Rules of Golf?
Hi Rod - we tend to use the Players Edition (the smaller version) of the Rules of Golf
A query on taking advice during the round ... surely this is admissable if the player giving or asking advice is your partner in a competition?
12/20 and (8 nearly correct) thanks for the opportunity.
Nice job!
Really liked this. About a 70% but some were definitely guesses.
Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed it!
16 out of 20. I should have got Question 11 right, I presume the nearest reference point for relief would be behind the bunker? However, not sure about Question 16 with regard to the ball marker. I have recently bought the R & A Rule book and cannot find any reference to the fact that ball markers must be artificial. Could someone enlighten me? I also thought it would make sense to restore the stance in a bunker (Q.20) since it was accidently disturbed. Similar to replacing a ball on the green if it is accidentally moved. Good quiz and an enjoyable way to brush up on the rules.
Great video, I enjoyed that. However, number 17 is a bit difficult, a player can strike the sand in anger but can’t take a practice swing that touches the sand.
What if a do a swiping strike in anger ? it would look like practice swing, wouldn’t it ? Steve
You would be questioned on "intent", and most likely forgiven for your anger, rather than Penalized for "testing the sand".
16 right.Would like to know penalty for hitting flagstick when putting.Thanks for video.
Death
There is no penalty
19 I have done rules exam and officiated for 25 years. Even I got one wrong.
There is no penalty - this rule was one of the revisions that was introduced in Jan 2019
@@GolfMonthly yes I have been re-accredited for the new rules but the old level 2 exam was open book. New one not. However I still passed. Usually on the course you you need to find the answer to show the player.
Well 16 out of 20...No cigar but have not read the new rule book yea...Should take the time now that lock down is here...Nice quiz and info...
Thanks - the rules section of the Golf Monthly website has lots of great info that explains much of what you can and can't do
I knew most of them but the guys I play with give each other a lot of leeway to keep the game going
If your ball is embedded in the face of the bunker, you won't necessarily be entitled to free relief as the relief area must be directly behind where the ball lies and only in the general area. There are many times where the potential relief area is only in the bunker and the rules don't allow for you to take free relief there.
Great quiz- got 80%. The practice putting surprised me and the ball in the hole resting against flag
Thanks Grant - glad you enjoyed it!
More of these, much better than reading them 😬
Thanks Bob!
Question #5. So the Player cannot remove the divot and press is down. Or he can move it out but just cannot press it down?
The Difference here is the specified "Attached Divot" . A completely unattached Divot is a Loose Impediment and can be removed as long as the Ball doesn't Move.
Q11 is a stinker, at what point is the general hazard no longer a hazard? At Out course we have a sharp edge to the bunker and then about an 8” vertical (soil) face, balls have been know to plug in that bit of soil, so is that in the bunker, the face of the bunker or general area.
