1. Competitions should have a max handicap of 18.
2. If you have been playing golf for more than two years and your handicap is over 24 you should find another hobby.
3. If you have been playing golf for more than three years and your handicap is over 18 you should find another hobby.
4. I hate playing with golfers over 18 handicap.
5. Clubs should monitor slow play and ban players who are regular offenders.
6. Women are a menace on the golf course and take far too long.
7. Callaway golf clubs are rubbish. Ping are beginners clubs.
8. Having any wood over a 5 wood is wrong.

All rounds should be over 4hrs no matter how many are playing.
Every player to have an extended PSR.
Go back to flag out on greens.
No relaxing of the dress code on course, NO shorts to be worn on the course.
If you can’t be without your phone and converse with your pp then you got no reason to be on the course.
Get rid of one of the majors in the US and have a world travelling major instead.
Once you hit 50 you should be classed as a senior like on the tours to enter senior comps.

There should be a windmill on the 18th hole.

If you have not finished your round in four hours you should have to walk off the course with the score you have.

Walking your dog whilst playing golf should be allowed.

No breast feeding whilst playing golf.

Shorts are compulsory from March to November. Unless you prefer skirts.

I think these responses should be collated and sent to the R&A for inclusion in the next rule changes 🤣

I should be able to allocate my handicap strokes to whichever holes I choose.

So I can choose to keep my 8 nett 7 as an 8 nett 8, but swap to a 4 nett 3 becoming a 4 nett 2. Would be a fair way to balance my lack of ability against those of better talent.

1. After letting players through, they are banned from practice swings and should jog after each shot until 2 holes clear

2. Weird shot routines should be left to Owen Farrell and Dan Biggar

Bit late to the party:

1. Fixation with fast play is killing the game, not slow play
2. Ban going back to reload off tee or last played from. Drop there and then with 1 or 2 shots pen.
3. Friendly games have the same rights as comps - e.g. no right of way to come through or off the first tee
4. Yellow and black balls are the best
