POSTED ON 2020-09-13 BY RIA The main golf event of 2019 was the change in the Golf Rules, which became simpler, “faster” and more understandable for the general public. Professional golfers and amateurs alike are actively discussing innovations, looking for loopholes and getting confused about their application on golf courses. We decided to consolidate the “passed” and published for you the most important changes that you should remember. Play at a fast pace (Rule 5.6). Fast play is the theme of the new rules of golf. For example, in all game formats (match meeting, stroke play, etc.), it is proposed not to wait for your turn, but to play when ready (ready golf). The rules instruct the organizers of the competition to establish a pace of play policy that stipulates the timing of the round and hole. At the same time, the rules recommend spending no more than 40 seconds or even less on the execution of a blow. You may hit the putting green without removing the flag from the hole (Rule 13.2). And at the same time, do not be afraid of the ball hitting the flagpole. Even if you hit, you will not be punished with a fine. This is one of the most revolutionary rule changes ever, designed to speed up the pace of the game. Observations show that in the absence of a caddy, manipulating the flag takes a long time. By itself, the flag left in the hole can help the ball roll into the hole, but it can also interfere. This is a matter of chance. Now it is possible not to go back, but to hit with 2 penalty points (Local rule E-5). The situation when you could not find your ball, and the temporary ball was not played was unpleasant for everyone: you had to go back, sometimes a couple of hundred meters, and your bandmates languished in anticipation, wasting time and the rhythm of the game. The new Rules offer a way out of this predicament. Now, having added yourself two penalty hits, you can not return to the place of the previous hit, but throw in and play the ball near the place where the ball is lost or lies out of touch. True, this procedure is not used in professional tournaments or competitions where amateur athletes play (Championship of the Russian Federation, Cup of the Russian Federation, Championship of the Russian Federation, etc.). You can clear loose obstructions and touch the sand in the bin. (Rule 12.2). If your ball is in the bunker, then unintentionally touching the sand with your hand and club is not penalized. For example, you can lean on your club waiting for a hit, or hit the sand in your hearts after a failed attempt to knock the ball out of the bunker. You can also remove loose obstacles in the bunker without fear of a fine. But unlike the penalty areas for bunkers, some restrictions remain. You will receive a major penalty (a new concept in the Rules – two strokes of the penalty) if you deliberately touch the sand in any way to determine its condition, if you touch the sand during a practice swing or when swinging for a hit, and if you place the stick on the sand in front of or behind the ball before hitting. Moving the ball while searching for it is no longer penalized (Rule 7.4). Now, if you have hammered your ball into the rough or into the penalty area, to find it, you can safely push the grass and sand with a stick or foot, lift (and even break within reasonable limits) branches, touch the water and you will not face a fine. The main thing is that if during the search you moved the ball, then be sure to return it to the same place where it was lying, and if this place is unknown, then determine it approximately. Almost all damage to the putting green can be repaired (Rule 13.1c). The new rules allow almost any damage to the putting green to be repaired: ball dents, shoe marks, golf club and flag depressions, acorns and pebbles, turf joints, animal tracks, etc. It is forbidden to close only aeration holes, restore worn-out lawn and smooth out natural defects of the putting green. If your ball accidentally hits someone or something, there is no penalty (Rule 11.1). If you knocked the ball out of the forest and the ball, hitting a tree, bounced and hit you or your equipment, then you do not receive a penalty and the ball must be played as it lies. Likewise, if you accidentally hit your bag that you left on the fairway, then there is no penalty and you continue to play from where your ball stopped. True, there is an exception to this Rule. If your ball, after hitting from the green, hits a ball that is on the green, then you still suffer a two-hit penalty, which is now called the main penalty.
