New Rules - how are they for you?

[Jamesbrown]

Yeah Ok, all positive changes I think. I find it odd that people still want the flag out or tended on long putts.

Weird ain’t it!? I’ve let it stop getting too me by having my two putts( maybe three putts) and bogging off the green. Leave those to fart and faff around with the flag if they so wish.
I’ve usually finished the hole by the time people have decided who wants what. Really can not fathom it.

3 minute search rule is an annoyance. It’s not long but people still cling on to hope of finding it beyond that.

Watching people attempt to drop from knee high can be a form of great amusement. My personal preference is to have the flag in for every putt and this speeds things up considerably if your playing partners do the same. I am yet to see anyone take 'advantage' of the 2 shot penalty for unplayable in a bunker. The number of local rules has diminished considerably over recent times. Embedded ball, stones in bunkers, DMD's etc.
