Comments on The Official Rules of Golf for Android

★★★★★ Sitala Togiai · Jan 10, 2023
Helped to understand more about the game especially monies involved.
★★★★★ Michael Hill · Jun 9, 2018
I play some amateur tournaments and this app has come in handy a few times. It's easier to carry than the actual book and finding rules is not difficult if you familiarize yourself with the app before play. Definitely recommend this if you play competitively!
★★★★★ Tom Lucas · Jul 18, 2020
Has everything you expect it to have Easy to find particular rules on the question at hand.
★★★★★ Michaele Long · Nov 14, 2018
You need this on your phone when you start playing in January with the new rules.
★☆☆☆☆ Joseph Hart · Jun 20, 2026
I downloaded the USGa rules app over the Internet. But when I try to Access the app it tells me I need an Internet connection. DUH.

★☆☆☆☆ Dan Sweet · Mar 31, 2024
Searches produce unrelated nonsense. Impossible to use in real time. Little if any help in finding a rule. I'm pretty sure no one involved in thus app have ever held a golf club. They certainly have never debated a free drop.
