Nothing is new. There are other available local rules which I understand if implemented will make a competition non qualifying
e.g.
lift and cleaning the ball in the rough
New Rules - what are you for and against?

Indeed - but there's nothing to stop any organising committee from implementing it.

Nope. In the same way as CONGU have set rules for the scores to count that are not reflected in other areas. There will be more than 2 versions of those as well.
The key points are that the principle elements and calculation routines are a constant - all the other bits relate purely to the integrity of the output handicap index (which because it's statistically based anyway will have inherent deviation elements.

What is going to happen with flag tending?
I don't really like doing it atm as usually I would rather be looking at my putt than having to stand by a flag.
Now it doesn't matter if the ball hits the flag, I assume flag tending won't happen anymore?

Not sure on this one either, is it a case of the flag being in or the flag being out? What do you say if someone says they want it tended?

Rules on flag tending haven't changed. You can still have it tended but, as before, it must come out of the hole. Penalty still applicable for hitting flag...

With you on that. I won't be tending any flag, the 3rd person in my group can do it if they like but I'll be saying sorry you can have it in or out.

Sorry but you can’t give players the choice of in or out if the rules allow the player to have the flag tended - what will you do in a Matchplay scenario when the player wants it tended ? You can’t just say no when he is entitled for it to be tended
I don’t like the flag in the hole so it’s out or from a distance it’s attended and we have been doing the flag in over winter for years now

Still confused about flag tending.
Is there a rule saying you have to do it if asked? If there is no rule then you can just say no, it is either in or out

It’s covered under ettiquette, so no you don’t have to attend if asked, but I’d suggest the company wouldn’t be up for much if you refused.
Why would you attend it today and not on tuesday, the flag in or out is the choice of the person playing the shot, another choice they have is to ask you to attend it.
You’ve always had the choice to refuse.

I assume that the rule makers would never think anyone would be such a (pick your own adjective) as to refuse a request to tend the flag when asked.

Hence why I said I won't be doing it. In or out is a perfectly valid and reasonable choice.

If someone plays using all the old rules come 2019, how many of the new rules could they possibly break and be penalised for ? .

If some demented, scheming arch-villain had wanted to cause as much confusion as possible in the game of golf then they couldn't have done a much better job than the 2019 revisions and poor communication of the same.

Really - I think they make much more sense when put all together?

Just count the number of threads and posts asking for clarification on the various changes.

I’d turn that around and say that’s a positive, changes coming in, more have got involved and at least attempted to become more aware of the rules. In our Club for example a lot of rule myths and historical (made up) local rules have been exposed and challenged.

The Rules of Golf sadly do not account for the general incompetence of golfers.
Read them and you might find you learn something. Most golfers don’t understand the current Rules so i don’t think the changes will make much different to their understanding unless they make some attempt to look at them.

My club has an evening planned early next year billed as a “new rules nightâ€.
Hopefully we’ll get a decent turnout.
