In this video, Neil Tappin is joined by Golf Monthly Rules Guru Jezz Ellwood to discuss why the rules of golf are so complicated. Because golf takes place in a natural landscape, there is a possibility for a number of different situations to occur during your round and if you find yourself in one, the rules are there to help you continue with your round in the most appropriate way. For many, this means the rules book is complex and hard to understand - hopefully this video will explain why the rules of golf are (and have to be) the way they are.
