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.
Course Update
The scarification/ Gradening that was scheduled this week has been postponed due to the wet conditions. Ideally, we would like to aim for a period where the course was slightly drier and the debris can be easily blown off the green. We are hoping this work will be carried out next week. We will do our best to limit any disruption to the golfer.
