Make the decision.

155 questions mix rules, terminology, match situations and established history. Ten are drawn for each round. Questions are used before repeating within this page session; reloading begins a new shuffle.

R&A/USGA Rules of Golf. Questions distinguish stroke play and match play where the answer changes; Committee Local Rules may add conditions.

01

Score against par

Birdie is one under par; bogey is one over. In stroke play, total strokes matter. Match play compares holes, so the same situation can have a different consequence.

02

Identify the area

The general area, bunker, penalty area, putting green and teeing area have different rules. Find the ball’s area before choosing relief.

03

Separate free relief from penalty relief

An abnormal course condition can allow free relief, while an unplayable-ball option normally costs a penalty stroke. Not every difficult lie earns a free drop.

WARM-UP CALL

Your ball is on the putting green. Can you mark its spot, lift it and clean it?

Reveal the answer

Yes. Mark the spot first, then lift and clean the ball. Replace it on its original spot before playing.

Build a better round

Start with 30 seconds per question for a quick challenge. Choose 60 seconds for more thinking time, or practice without a countdown. An unanswered timed question earns no point and reveals the correct answer. There is no penalty for an incorrect choice beyond the missed point.

After ten questions, open the answer review to revisit mistakes. Replay continues through the remaining question bank. Progress is kept only in the current page session.
