The rules are changing... You will probably all know by now that the rules of golf will be changing in the new year. My goal is to make sure you are ready for the changes on 1st January. Rather than just tell you what they are, I am going to see if you can discover the changes for yourself.
I want you to then tell me the answer along with the rule number that the rule applies to. Next week I will tell you the answers and also talk you through the rules in more depth. New rules books are now available at the club. If you haven’t got one already then please pick one up, the new rules book is also available on online.
