Modernisation of Rules<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The official Modernisation of Rules is outlined on the R&A site https:\/\/www.rules.golf<\/a>. This gives the R&A\u2019s general overview as well as outstanding, easy to understand, specific video presentations on key Rules Changes, and is being added to all the time.<\/p>\n

As a starting point Members are encouraged to view the video clips: Dropping the Ball, Putting Greens and Penalty Areas. However don\u2019t be limited by this, and as time permits view each of the other clips on the site and broaden your knowledge of the 2019 Modernisation.<\/p>\n

\n

Finding the Rules Online<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, it is worth going to the randa.org: https:\/\/www.randa.org\/<\/a> where the online version of the new Rules are located.<\/p>\n

The Player\u2019s Edition of the 2019 Rules Of Golf has now been released and is now available to Members (free) from the Golf Shop and Office.<\/p>\n
