USGA, R&A proposed rule changes for 2019, Plus Distance Report

By Wayne | blog

If you haven’t seen these they’ve been out for a few days. I wanted to share the links and offer them up for discussion in the forum. The first link is to a pdf with proposed rule changes for 2019. I can’t imagine no changes or additions will made so it will be interesting to see what makes the cut, what does not, or if they all do.

Summary of main changes for 2019:

*be careful, the original proposed changes and the announced changes summary look very similar with a few differences, both documents are linked so you can compare them if you’d like.*
