Golf Rules Quizzes & Trivia

Just like in any other sports, golf has a standard set of procedures and regulations which guide how the game is to be played. There are also penalties that players face in case they fail to adhere to these rules. These rules are written and administered by the R&A which is the governing body of golf worldwide, with the exception of the US and Mexico which are taken care of by the USGA.

Can you state some golf rules concerning stroke play, match play and clubs? Apart from the rules, there is also a code of conduct called ‘etiquette’ that golfers must observe. If you really like this game, try some of our tough and challenging quizzes on the game to see how well you are conversant with it.
