The Little Book of Golf Law is back again with completely new and updated stories of your favorite pastime! John H. Minan writes on how violating "the law" of golf - as opposed to the rules that govern the game - can have serious consequences. In ten parts covering legal areas from torts to intellectual property to environmental law, this revised and expanded edition of the classic Little Book explores thirty-nine cases in which the rules of golf spilled over into the rules of law. Each chapter examines a different set of facts and involves an actual case. The chapters explore a wide array of legal issues, from personal injury claims for negligence to products liability, contract disputes, and more.
Fundamentally, however, the rules [of golf] can be reduced to a few underlying principles - only two, in the opinion of John Minan. The first is to play the course as you find it and the second is to play your ball without touching it until you hole out - except, of course, when there are exceptions. The rules define and explain the exceptions. And for situations that aren't covered in the rules, there's the all-important equity clause, Rule 1.4: When in doubt, do what's fair. The Wall Street Journal We can all relate. Virtually every golfer has nervously watched an awful slice sail toward a row of houses, waiting for the crash of a window or worse, a blood-curdling scream. And Minan has done a fantastic job with this very original effort. The San Diego Union-Tribune
