The combination of video, diagram and verbal explanations are aimed at making the Rules easier to understand for on-course golfers.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/SodAkXSi5PI<\/p>\n<p>Grant Moir, Executive Director \u2013 Governance at The R&amp;A, said, \u201cWe want golfers at all levels to feel confident in playing by the Rules, particularly those who are new to the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Quick Guide video has been developed to provide easy-to-watch explanations of the most common situations golfers face on the course and to make the game more appealing and inclusive by showing that the basic Rules are actually very straightforward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Quick Guide \u2013\u00a0 which features short animations and footage from The Open and the AIG Women\u2019s Open to explain the Rules \u2013 is aimed at the player transitioning from being a learner golfer to gaining a handicap, while also assisting more experienced golfers.<\/p>\n<p>It has been produced with a voiceover with minimal text on the screen to make it easier for national associations to translate it and allow for the inclusion of subtitles. Subtitles are already available in 15 languages and will be accessible on the online and App versions of the video.<\/p>\n<p>The release of the Quick Guide will further expand the resources available in the Official R&amp;A Rules App which was revamped earlier this year<a href=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/matt-wallace-puts-celebrations-on-hold-with-an-eye-on-back-to-back-pga-tour-wins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">.<\/a> The Rules App provides more visual aids, diagrams and videos to explain the Rules and provides visual guidance on many common situations for the benefit of golfers at every level of experience.<\/p>\n<p>The R&amp;A Rules App is available to download\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/randa.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=6bb7c9fe2e299bac6c8d7a310&amp;id=c2c3150b6d&amp;e=f66a4c18cd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/randa.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D6bb7c9fe2e299bac6c8d7a310%26id%3Dc2c3150b6d%26e%3Df66a4c18cd&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1680112493380000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0NTvAzR_PL10BZPblmOb2b\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aims to help beginner golfers become familiar with the basics of the Rules<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1242848,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2680,9026],"class_list":["post-1242846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-beginner","tag-the-ra"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.6 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Quick guide - golf rules - Golf Today<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"New quick guide to the rules of golf released.
