Details:
Following seven years of consultations, the governing bodies of the Rules of golf will implement the most comprehensive Rules changes seen in the game for 37 years.

In a bid to make the Rules more accessible and straightforward The R&A and USGA have reworded every Rule and made alterations which will affect the way every golfer in the world plays the game - that's some 60 million people.

The Rules will be reduced from 34 to 24 and some of the changes will create ripples throughout the world of sport. They include:

• Reduction of "ball moved" penalties.
• Relaxed putting green rules.
• Relaxed bunker rules.
• A bigger reliance on a player's "reasonable judgment".
• Reduced search times.
• The abandonment of the "furthest from the hole plays first" etiquette in favour of "ready golf".
• Relaxed procedure for dropping the ball.
