"I found the Roving Official extremely useful in clearing my R&A Level 2 examination with distinction in the first attempt itself. Each section of the' Rules of Golf ' was comprehensively covered with the collated material, explanations and quizzes. However, i must highlight that the level of contents was higher than that required for clearing Level 2. Notwithstanding , an essential asset for those striving to learn the rules in detail and appear for examinations. Thank you Roving Official."
