Hi!

My name is Brian Nygaard Oswald and I am the CEO and founder of 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”.
