Clearly explained
Direct answers without avoidable jargon.
Understand golf without a long search for the answer.
World of Golf answers common golf questions simply, clearly and with enough detail to be useful. The guides are for anyone who wants to understand the game better, from new golfers to more experienced players.
FOR GOLFERS
Who is this website for?
World of Golf is for people looking for a direct answer to a golf question. You should not have to work through a long, complicated text simply to understand one rule or term.
Each guide begins with a short answer and then adds examples, context and sources. If the right answer is missing, you can send the question directly. The library can therefore grow around questions golfers genuinely ask.
Carefully structured
Short answers, practical examples and useful sections.
Based on real questions
Missing topics can be suggested directly.
HOW IT STARTED
Why I started World of Golf
World of Golf began during my summer holiday as a personal project. I wanted to build something of my own, learn new skills and create a website that genuinely helps other golfers.
When I was beginning to play, I often looked for a page that answered a question both simply and thoroughly. I usually found either a very short definition or a long article where the answer was difficult to locate. World of Golf is my attempt to close that gap.
ABOUT ME
Who is behind World of Golf?
I am Tim and have played golf for almost five years. My current Handicap Index is 15.2. My own time on the course has shown me how many questions appear, particularly at the beginning.
I do not claim to be a golf professional. For rules and handicap subjects I use official sources, then explain them in the way I would have liked to receive the answer: directly, clearly and with a practical example.
I am pleased whenever World of Golf helps somebody understand the game and step onto the course with fewer unanswered questions.
