About Oswald

My name is Brian Nygaard Oswald. I was born in 1976 and I am married and have two kids.

I finished my Masters degree in Law in 2002 (Copenhagen University) and was lawyer in 2006. After practicing as a lawyer for a few years, a golf journalist suggested that I began learning the Rules of Golf, since my two passions where 1) rules and 2) golf!

That made so much sense to me, and therefore I stopped working as a lawyer and founded “The Oswald Academy” in 2008 – and (so to speak) the rest is history :-).

A lot has happened since founding The Oswald Academy, including moving to New York for one year (picture below), publicating numerous Rules books, conducting a LOT of Rules seminars/clinics/evenings (200+), making of many educational Rules videos etc.

For me it is vital that my teaching is fun and interesting… and NOT boring…! I always have that goal in mind no matter if I conduct seminars, do videos, write books etc.

Welcome to The Oswald Academy!

With my background as a lawyer, I have always been interested in Rules… and since golf is my passion too, I find the Rules of Golf VERY interesting! On this website you can find articles, videos, etc. and information about workshops, tutoring, seminars and much more…about the Rules of Golf only. My motto is: “Learning the Rules of Golf should be interesting and fun”.
