Common Rules of Golf

Golf has enough confusion — rules don’t have to add to it.

The rules of golf are dense and over 200 pages long - we've made it simple. This one-page printable reference sheet covers the most common rules situations you’ll face on the course: tee box basics, OB and lost ball penalties, relief from water hazards, and what to do when you’re stuck on a cart path.

Written in a clear, casual tone with just enough detail to keep you confident — and out of trouble.
