The R&A has launched a new free online course to help golfers and administrators improve their knowledge of the Rules of Golf.

The Rules Academy is available at www.RandA.org/RulesAcademy and is based on the Etiquette Section and the Quick Guide to the Rules of Golf (a short summary of the most commonly occurring Rules).

Users are guided by either three-time major winner Padraig Harrington or LPGA champ Suzann Pettersen, who are both R&A Working for Golf ambassadors.

Listen to Padraig and Suzann here as they talk about the Academy.
