I tried to read the rules of golf but couldn’t. I had to click on so may different links to read each rule, then click to go back and was sent to another website. Is there an easier way to read these? I have never played golf, but have driven many a golf cart and can open a mean beer. I would like to know how to play or at least know what is really going on!

Here's a PDF of the current rule book. You can print it out to read it without all of the linking to "case law" rulings. It is a large file, and it includes basic golf etiquette for new players.

That's the beauty of it.

There are only 34 Rules of Golf, as the link suggests, but it's the intricacies of each rule that can drive one nuts. You're only the second person to comment on the link in, what, ten years of golf pings, so good on you.
