This book contains dated material. As of january 1, 2008 the Rules and the decisions of golf have been substantial changes. All of then good and many of them will come into play every day. Also, the author references 5 dumest interpretations and goes on to state that Rules officials should not be so strict in interpreting the Rules. While that may be a nice thought, the realities are that the writers of the Rules (The USGA and The R&A) put enormous thought into the way the rules are written so that Officials in the field can uniformly interpret the rules. The Officials have no room for error in ensuring that all players are playing by the same rules and playing on a level playing field. It is an interesting book, just don't make any wagers based on what you read inside. If you really want to understand the rules purchase the publication: Decisions on the Rules of Golf from the USGA.

Read this book in combination with Golf for Dummies as I begin the process of taking up the game. It is worth a quick read. No book is a substitute for lessons with a PGA pro, which I am doing. However, it is useful to be alerted to the culture of golf and able to avoid being a jerk unintentionally.

I was looking for a book to explain the rules better, and this wasn't it. It went into lots of details about etiquette, tipping, how to play with your boss, etc.. The author expresses lots of personal philosophy about why you should walk, why you should use a caddy, and all about betting. The rules section was a short discusion that didn't elaborate on the USGA handbook much.
The stories are enjoyable, especially the one about the Chairman at Augusta National offering to cut a deck a cards for a loudmouth gambler's entire 40 million net worth.
This is one to borrow, not to buy.

This book was a complete waste of money. I learned nothing that I didn't already know. The author also has a preachy, holier than thou style that is extremely grating. I was embarassed to have spend good money on this book.
