About ME!

HELLO! I’m Richard E. Todd, author, speaker, golfer.

I’m a high-handicap golfer who loves all things golf related.

In an effort to help educate golfers around the world on the rules of golf and golf etiquette I’ve penned a series of entertaining and educational books, The Golf Rules. I was trained on the rules of golf by the USGA and PGA and I’m a member of the International Writers Association.

During my presentations and author events I’ve heard many great golf stories and came up with the idea to enhance and share them through short tales.

More on me can be found at http://www.amazon.com/author/toddrichard and http://www.thegolfrules.com/author.html.

Follow this blog as I write about each short story in Short Stories from the Long Links.
