Press release for
The Rules of Golf in Plain English
Jeffrey S. Kuhn and Bryan A. Garner
For more information, |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |

“Clear, useful, and authoritative.”—David Fay, Executive Director, USGA “If these two guys could just address the IRS and income tax forms, I smell bonanza.”—Sports Illustrated “If most of us had a dollar for every time we resolved to read the USGA rulebook—and didn’t—we could have paid for this godsend from trial lawyer Jeffrey Kuhn and Black’s Law Dictionary editor-in-chief Bryan Garner ten times over. Recognizing obscure writing when they see it, the pair have taken on the Rules of Golf’s ’sometimes wooden, legalistic and opaque’ style and translated it deftly, simplifying but not oversimplifying. It’s a good read unspoiled.”—Golf World “The Rules of Golf in Plain English, co-written by Jeffrey Kuhn and Bryan Garner, deciphers the heretofore indecipherable. It brings order and clarity to the Rules of Golf as mandated by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. … The first word-by-word translation of rules that have confounded players for centuries.”—Houston Chronicle

First published to wide acclaim in 2004, the bestselling Rules of Golf in Plain English made the incomprehensible Rules of Golf accessible to all golfers, from duffer to pro. Now available in a second edition, this modern, readable guide is a must-have for everyone who cares about the game. The second edition incorporates all the rule changes made for the 2008 update. With The Rules of Golf in Plain English in hand, everyone can understand the rules—and it’s still small enough to fit into a golf bag! Jeffrey S. Kuhn is a lawyer and a volunteer USGA rules official. He has achieved the highest rating at PGA/USGA rules workshops and has officiated at US Opens, US Amateurs, and numerous other USGA championships. Bryan A. Garner is the author of numerous bestselling books, including Garner’s Modern American Usage and Legal Writing in Plain English, the latter published by the University of Chicago Press. He is also the editor in chief of Black’s Law Dictionary and special contributor to the Dallas Morning News. Both are also available for interviews. E-mail for more information. | |
