Golf Rules Quiz will definitely help you to understand and absorb the Rules of Golf in a most enjoyable and entertaining way.

This 2012 edition applies the latest revision of the Rules of Golf 2012-2015.

Each quiz consists of 20 randomised situations experienced on the golf course, selected dynamically from a repository of several hundred. The questions are in a multiple choice format offering four alternate answers. Your challenge is to pick the correct one. An explanation of the correct ruling is delivered after each question has been answered, ensuring that the user will absorb and obtain a better understanding of the Rules of Golf while they are having fun testing their knowledge. As players advance within the quiz they can keep an eye on their scores and over a period of time see how they are progressing, as they repeatedly test themselves and compare their results with their friends.

The golf scenarios were authored by Rules enthusiast, Barry Rhodes, the first person to score 100% on the public Advanced Rules of Golf Course examination, run by the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) in their headquarters at The Belfry, West Midlands, UK.

Pros and cons of Golf Rules Quiz app for iPhone and iPad

Golf Rules Quiz app good for

A must have app to test your rules of golf knowledge! I really like the question and answer format with and explanation of the rule if you get the answer wrong. I would like to see an explanation of the rule even if you get the answer correct though.
I was surprised at how many I got wrong. After a couple of months of use Im definitely more knowledgable. Still seeing new questions, so they must have a pretty long list. Two feature requests: For correct answer a short explanation would be helpful. When I guess right (as opposed to knowing) I dont learn much A way to "star" questions as favorites so I can go back and review them or do a little more research Overall, well worth the time and money

Some bad moments

Pricey for what you get. Questions are short and often poorly written. Correct answers merely say correct answer instead of referencing appropriate ruling. Ive had names in the question not be the same names in the explanation when Ive gotten the question wrong, making me wonder if the two are even related. Unless they lower the price or make some serious revisions, Id pass on this one.
