Burbank, CA (August 13, 2007) – The first ever web interactive television quiz show highlighting the rules of golf premieres August 18, 2007 (4PM Eastern) on CBS Sports and GolfDigest.com.
RULES OF THE GAME is a one-hour special highlighting funny, surprising, and unexpected applications of the rules of golf in a fast-paced interactive quiz format. The show, shot on location from Ginn Reunion Resort in Orlando, Florida, features memorable moments from PGA Tour events, as well as re-enactments performed by CBS Sports golf team members Bill Macatee and Bobby Clampett.
Among the gems revealed on the show are:
