In 2012 the R&A and the USGA began the process to modernise the Rules of Golf to ensure that the rules were easier to understand, would apply for all golfers and would make the game more attractive and accesssible for newcomers.
The new modernised Rules of Golf were implemented on 01 January 2019.
The R&A have launched a Rules Hub and also a Rules of Golf App to provide answers to the many issues that arise in the game.
You can even test your knowledge of the rules with the R&A Rules Quiz.
