False info (?) on update of rules

[Pants]

Just to confirm, the Rules are part of the Official Guide, so if you want a printed version of the Rules, you can get one of those. It contains Rules+Clarifications (nee Interpretations nee Decisions)+Definitions+Model Local Rules+Committee Procedures.

I had the email from R&A yesterday. Seems my 5 year old mobile is too old to install the app ?‍

No. The R&A will no longer be printing rule books. You need to use the rules app. If you had previously downloaded the 2019 app it should have automatically updated to the 2023 version by now. (mine has)

Additionally, the serious student of the rules can purchase the 'Official Guide to the Rules of Golf' from the usual online book stores but all the content can be found in the app.

Mine has too. Must have happened today as yesterday it was still the 2019 version.

The link in post #97 is directly from the website today. I assume the phone app is the same.
