We’ve now had almost a full year of the new Rules of Golf. So what would you change? We asked five of stars for their thoughts

Rules of Golf

This year has seen the biggest shift in the Rules of Golf – but there is always room for improvement or, dare we say it, a bit more common sense.

NCG sat down with five players with 63 professional wins between them  – Sandy Lyle, Gary Evans, Des Smyth, Jamie Spence and Gary Wolstenholme, now regular fixtures of the Staysure Tour – to get their thoughts on how they would like things changed for the better.

And they don’t hold back…

Stars have their say on the Rules of Golf

So what rule or rules would you change? Let us know in the comments below, or join the conversation on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
