Rules of Golf

‘The whole art of this game is in your hands’: Which of golf’s rules would you change?

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
 

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.

Been watching and playing golf since the early 80s and generally still stuck in this period. Huge fan of all things Robert Rock, less so white belts. Handicap of 8, fragile mind and short game
