The Ten Commandments of Golf Etiquette is a book for people new to the game. It offers no advice on technique; instead, it is a primer on how to behave on the golf course: how to be safe, be considerate of others, play at a good pace, and how to understand the complex etiquette and unwritten code involved in a round of golf with others. There are also brief descriptions of the most commonly-encountered rules, a list of necessary equipment, and a glossary of golf terms. This small book is designed so that the new player will step onto the course and feel immediately at home.
Jaime Diaz of Golf Digest said, "If God were to address the multitudes from atop the Royal & Ancient Clubhouse, he'd send Arnold Palmer down with copies of this delightful little book. Clear, sensible, and inviting, it will serve as both a primer for impeccable playing manners and a handy refresher."
"This terrific book, by a wonderful writer and a pretty fair golfer himself, is not just for beginners, " says Bob Carney , Contributing Editor at Golf Digest. "It will de-mystify golf's sometimes bizarre etiquette for anyone who loves to play, and surely make the game more fun for all."
Leigh Montville, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Big Bam and Ted Williams, The Biography of An American Hero wrote, "This is an indispensable book for the newcomer to golf and a needed addition to the library of 97.5 per cent of the people you see on a golf course on any given afternoon. Especially those clowns in the foursome ahead of you. There are about a billion guides, tracts, dissertations on where to put your hands, your arms, your hips and your attention during each millisecond of the golf swing, but Roland Merullo has written the only book that tells you what to do the rest of the time. Get it for your friends. Get it for yourself. Get it for the clowns in that foursome ahead of you."
"Knowing golf's customs and rules makes the game more fun for you and those you play with, " writes Bill Fields, nationally-known golf writer and former Senior Editor at Golf World. "If you're new to golf or need a quick refresher course, The Ten Commandments of Golf Etiquette is a great, quick read."
And, Tim Murphy, retired Senior Editor, Golf World said, "Golf, a magnificent addiction for the initiated, can be a mystery for newcomers hoping to pick it up. Roland Merullo's The Ten Commandments of Golf Etiquette is the Rosetta Stone for anyone looking to break through the game's clutter of rules and protocols. It combines Merullo's passion for golf with his gift for clear writing, humor and insight. The Ten Commandments of Golf Etiquette brings the first tee a little bit closer—and makes it a lot less daunting."
