The concept for Golf Rules Made Easy began in 1995. At that time Sue Murray was the Rules & Handicap Chairperson at Pinebrook Golf & Country Club. She felt a "Rule of the Week" poster would help members become more familiar with the Rules of Golf. Twenty posters were developed and a different one was posted each week. The response was very favorable not only from members but also from visiting players from other clubs. Many clubs requested a copy of the posters.

The following year, 1996, twenty new posters (Series "A") were created and Rosemary Gillard, an accomplished artist and member at the same club, volunteered her talent to illustrate each poster. All of the copies printed were snapped up by rules people from clubs in Western Canada at a National Rules Clinic held in Calgary. A second printing was undertaken to supply the interested clubs in Calgary and surrounding area. A comment from many rules people was, "I've been meaning to do the same thing for years now, but it was too time consuming and too much work".

In 1997, 20 new posters (Series "B") were developed and sold to previous clients and many new ones, paricularly from the United States.

Series "C" followed with many of the ideas for the posters based on questions Sue received from golfers after a round of golf when a trouble situation arose and the player did not know the proper ruling.

Due to the growing popularity of Match Play, Series "D" was created in 1999 with poster topics focusing on Match Play rules.

With the introduction of a new Rulebook on January 1, 2000 nine posters in print became obsolete. These posters were re-written and made available so that clubs could bring their collection of posters up to date. Misinformation about rules is very harmful and difficult to eradicate, so it was important to remove these nine outdated posters from circulation.

Each topic in the latest set of posters, Series "E," was carefully chosen to incorporate the many new Rules introduced in the January 1, 2000 edition of the Rules of Golf.

With the introduction of the January 1, 2004 Rules of Golf all the 100 posters in circulation were scrutinized for any Rule/Decision changes and replacement posters were created and made available to customers who purchased posters prior to January 1, 2004.

With the introduction of the 2006-2007 "Decisions on the Rules of Golf" two posters required updating.

A new Rulebook was introduced on January 1, 2008.  Once again all the 100 posters have been scrutinized for any changes.  Thirty posters required updating and are available for purchase to bring your library of posters current with the new Rules of Golf book.

All of the posters comply with the January 1, 2008 Rules of Golf and the 2006-2007 "Decisions on the Rules of Golf".

It is our hope the members at your club will gain a competitive edge over their opponents and fellow-competitors because of the information learned from these posters.


Sue Murray
Sue is an avid golfer who first became interested in the rules when she decided to play golf competitively in 1990. She wanted to learn what her rights were under the Rules of Golf so she could make an informed decision on the golf course. She no longer wanted to rely on instructions from other golfers in her group, which on several occasions turned out to be false and costly.

Since then she has attended many Rules Clinics and written numerous exams; once scoring 100% on a provincial exam. She has been a member of the CLGA (Canadian Ladies' Golf Association) Standing Rules Committee for eight years. A mark of 85% is required for certification on the CLGA Rules Committee.


Rosemary Gillard
Rosemary is an avid golfer and has been an enthusiastic participant on the ladies' section of her home golf club, where she is a past president.

She is presently a water color artist, although she has been drawing since she was old enough to hold a pencil. She has had several successful shows and sales, and is currently working on commissioned pieces. Her work hangs in private collections across Canada.

Rosemary has combined her love of golf and her love of art in these easy to understand illustrations depicting the Rules of Golf.
