They don't, most rules are basic knowledge if one is a golfer. If one's group hits a quandary, there a pocket sized booklet for one's bag that can be researched for a very freakish situation, although, we never came across that situation.

Ready golf is what speeds up play. It amuses me when the hole ahead is open, the players have played the same course many times but they have to walk on to the tee box, stare at the green and then go back and grab a club. They make about 5 practice swings on every green and then take a mulligan after hitting the ball about 10 yards on their tee shot. Talk about what really slows down the game..
