We hope you find our web presence informative, relevant, and a bit "off the wall" compared to other attorney web sites.

My staff and I have worked very hard to make this interactive — providing online access to your files, a library of downloadable forms, and the means for you to respond to us at your convenience.

You may enjoy reading my irreverent take on decisions by our courts, legislature and public officials, take advantage of free legal advice for golfers, and offer up your opinions in our web blog On the Docket.

The Official "Exceptions" to the Rules of Golf

Bobby Jones

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, in conjunction with the USGA, "writes, interprets, and maintains the Rules of Golf to guard the tradition and integrity of the game."

A noble aim perhaps, but as Henry Beard, the author of "The Official Exceptions to the Rules of Golf" so eloquently stated, the administrators of the rules "basically regard the game of golf not as an enjoyable pastime, but rather as a form of protracted litigation undertaken outdoors."

We, at Law Office of J. Christopher Geiger, as a public service and in an effort to keep all hackers happy and duffers daffy, will publish one of the 62 "Official Exceptions" on this site each week. One, or all, will certainly benefit you and bedevil your opponents the next time you step out to the links. Enjoy!
