Test your Rules knowledge

[sawtooth]

If you're really bored like me then take this test. With so many rules in this game we all love, its hard to remember them all.

I scored 13/20 on test #4504 (they change all the time) - good effort but must do better.

Just tried 5407.......10/20 you have failed the golftest!!
Think I need to read the rule book

I got 14/20 on the one I tried.
It gives you good feedback on the ones you get wrong, unlike the R&A version last year that didn't.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

4524 and got 12/20

 

[sawtooth]

Phew! Glad its not just me then.

Here's a thought, what if you had to pass something like this and say and an etiquette test before you took to the golf course?

 

[bobmac]

If I remember correctly, my rules exam was 2 hours long.
My head hurt afterwards

 

[The_LHC]

14/20, fail? bit harsh...

 

[rickg]

test 4528 result 15/20

a bit like one of my rounds...going well then got 3 out of the last 5 wrong!!!!

 

[bobmac]

16/20

Phew

 

[Imurg]

Just done number 4532 and got 18/20

I passed!!

 

[Region3]

4519 and 16/10

I still don't think 3 of the ones I got wrong were wrong though.

Anyone else got weird explanations of ones being wrong?

 

[sawtooth]

Damn you guys are good, I just did it again and failed got 13/20 again (4534).

I'm going to pick up the R&A rule book, something to do throughout winter months.

14/20 on test 4543

Quite happy with that considering i've only been playing for a year or so and neve played any competitive golf.

4551 - 15/20 but one question showed up as a repeat of an earlier one in the test but as a different question in the answers.

The answer to this one seems odd 'MATCH PLAY. From the teeing ground you strike your ball into the thatched roof of a shelter (immovable obstruction) and you cannot find your ball. What do the Rules say?' I got it wrong.

 

[Whereditgo]

13/20 - not good, kept getting the number of penalty strokes wrong

I had that one. I chose...

You may substitute the ball and proceed under Rule 24-2b (Relief from interference by an immovable obstruction).

And it said I was right.

 

[viscount17]

I couldn't see how that differed from a lost ball, last thing I would have thought would be to substitute with no penalty!

 

[chrisd]

14/20 probably pretty average. One question was asked with the answer being the number of penalty shots taken where it should have been shots taken, so it was impossible to get that one!

Don't worry Ian, the other 13 are a bit antiquated and tend to put new golfers off this stuck up sport!!
