Lexi Thompson Penalty Results in 4 Stroke Penalty
The times they are a changin’.
Last week golf’s two major governing bodies, the USGA and The Royal & Ancient, announced a sweeping series of proposed changes to the rule book, the biggest update in over 30 years. The proposed changes, while probably still 20 years too late, are at the very least a step in the right direction.
The USGA and R&A mission is to simplify and make the game easier to understand and play. Something we can certainly all support. None of the proposed changes would take place until January 1, 2019, so don’t freak out the next time you tee it up because you haven’t brushed up on all the changes. Also, for the next six months the golf lords want to hear from you about their ideas. Fans are encouraged to write, call or email the USGA and R&A to give their opinion about the proposed rule changes, what else they should change and anything else you can think of to make the game better. Your voice matters!
Well, blue blazers ask and ye shall receive!
Let’s review some of the biggest proposed changes and my two cents as well. The below rule changes are by no means a complete list. You can find all of the proposed changes on the USGA site.
