John Paramor has probably forgotten more about the Rules of Golf than most of us know. In a career which spanned nearly 45 years and saw him rise to the European Tour’s chief referee, he was the familiar face in the buggy racing round the world’s biggest tournaments dispensing his considerable knowledge.
But while the Rules can become second nature to those who have spent a life immersed in them, for many of us at our clubs they remain a thing of mystery.
Whether it’s struggling to understand the technicalities or being put off by the prospect of delving into potentially hundreds of pages of text, it can be a challenge to wrap your heads around what’s required to play the game as it should be.
In this week’s From the Clubhouse podcast, we get into how you can make understanding the Rules easier, and make your game more enjoyable…
