lets all meet up in dans backayrd and he can re-create some situations and we can try to figure out what we are supposed to do.. what time is good for you?
The animations and visuals are good and an excellent place to start, but I personally feel that the best way to learn the rules is to commit yourself to playing by them. Its not as easy as it sounds - especially if you play with a regular group that has their own rules for play - but personal experience trumps reading and studying every time.
If you play enough golf, rules questions will always come up in the normal course of play. Make a point of finding out the correct answers. When you find out the correct answers, you will remember them because they happened to you or to someone you were playing with.
Learn the definitions first.
Remember that the rules are sequenced logically in relation to play.
I have found that song lyrics are easy to remember. Anyone want to put the rules to music?
