OK, so you're both ignorant of the rules, AND you don't know how to click on a link the the USGA website, where the book is only $1.50.

Well actually you can just go to the USGA website and print all that stuff out for free.

Although getting the book from the USGA would probably be a bit more tidy.

Just goes to show how far you are willing to try, you didn't even check if the USGA had the resources you need. It's common sense you would see price gouging on Amazon or Ebay. 

To me, its more like you went searching for another negative against the USGA and are not even trying to have a discussion or learning experience in good faith.

I could not actually bring myself to go the USGA site! I might catch something, where’s my mask? Does sanitizer work online?

That’s LOL! Of course!

Taking relief from a cart path?

I don’t think I have to mark the nearest point of relief with a tee and mark out one club length with another tee, then drop between them, it just says drop within one club of the nearest point of relief not nearer the hole.

Is that right?

If you wonder why we think you’re trolling, crap like this is one of the reasons.

I never said the rules are unfair or wrong or bad, I just don’t understand them and nobody else does either?

It takes a while to understand the rules. When you first start some of the rules may not make sense. Learn them. You may also find ways to use them to help you.
