Rules Quiz I

Posted by Double Eagle in Rules

I’m a total rules geek. I like to do the occasional post about the Rules of Golf, but it can get dry at times. I thought it might be fun to do a little rules quiz to liven things up.

Those of you who are USGA members might be familiar with the ridiculously difficult Rules of Golf quiz they print every year. My quizzes will be much easier and will cover the basics to help you learn and remember the nuances of the Rules.

I found a WordPress plugin that lets me easily create a quiz. There are several improvements I’d like to make, but I thought I’d roll out one and see how it goes. The first one is a little rough around the edges, so bear with me. Let me know if you like it, and I’ll keep them coming.

I’m planning on making the following improvements, so look for these in the future:

  • I’d like the quiz within the post, instead of on a separate page
  • I’m going to modify the results page so it shows the correct answers, not just a total score
  • I’ll probably try to make them ten questions instead of five

Without further ado, on to Rules Quiz I

    Not currently. The plugin doesn’t do that out of the box, so I’m going to have to make some modifications to get it to do that.

    Definitely for Quiz II.

    Just for reference, the answers are:

    1: A
    2: B
    3: D
    4: B
    5: B

  • I’ve been reading Golf Unplugged by Jim Apfelbaum (great book; review upcoming) and it contains a quote from Bobby Jones.  Faced with a pressure putt, he said:

    I resolved that no matter how much time I consumed, I was going to tranquilze my breath before I made another putt.  So I began to take great pains to study the line.  I really did not study the line, for I have never been able to see more rolls and bumps in a [...]
