    I think they should have made rangefinders legal, using a condition of comp to disallow.

      I was rather more interested in what they have done not what they haven't. Otherwise we are simply regurgitating old stuff.

        You mean like streamlining the hazard stuff? I think that was a good move (allowing to ID your ball in a hazard)

            Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, priority on the
            course is determined by a group’s pace of play. Any group playing a
            whole round is entitled to pass a group playing a shorter round.The
            term “group” includes a single player.

              That was included in last years' decisions, nice to see that it's 'law' now (as I often play alone).

              The tough part will be getting the older gents to acknowledge that I'm a 'group' looking to 'play through', as I'm often playing a full round to boot.

                I know a clarification was issued but was it actually in the 'Decisions'?

                But note the first six words.

                  mmm, I'm not sure, now that you put it that way. FWIW, the committee at my local club is as useful as a driver on a short par 3. The first 6 words doesn't mean anything (case in point: we play 'winter rules' year round at our course. However, in the tiny pro shop is no mention of the fact that we're winter rules, nor on the scorecard. Our course simply doesn't care.)

                    I got a clarification from the R&A and may have posted it here. I know others had the same advice directly from the R&A or USGA.

                    Edited to say - Just found the post

                    http://www.golf-tuition-online.com/g...m-through.html

                    But declare UDI.
                    Copy the statement onto a large piece of paper and post it on the 1st tee.
