Modernising Golf's Rules

Last week the R&A proposed some key changes to the Rules of Golf from 2019. Their Rules Modernisation initiative has been underway for a few years now and this is the next stage in that process. The aim is to not only make the Rules easier to understand, but also to address some of the game's current problems, such as speed of play, and ensure they fit the needs of today's game.

Please spare a couple of minutes to complete our survey, which gives you the chance to have your say on the proposed changes.

We've picked out some of the most significant Rules changes for you to digest in this survey, before giving you the chance to say whether you agree or disagree with each of them. It'll be great to know your thoughts.

Have your say here.

 

Winter Pairs Final

This weekend saw the finals of the Winter Pairs. Steve Barbor and Simon Whitehead held a commanding lead over the rest of the field from 3 solid previous rounds scores. 

The pair managed to post a comfortable 38 points in the Greensomes format, which was enough to gain the Winter Pairs title for 2016/17. Well done both.
