I stumbled across this video regarding potential rule changes in golf. As I watched the justification to why some of the rules of golf could be changed, I tried to wrap my mind around the validity of the argument. After watching it, twice, I think some of the recommendations have merit. So, I figured I would post this discussion and see what you the reader has to say.

As I took the time to think about the proposal, my first thoughts was absolutely not! The game is designed to be tough and only the top players in the world are showing the skill needed to be considered elite in golf. Then, I did a fair bit of introspection and started to think about the impact of the rule changes on my game and golf at the local level. Realistically, my game has peaked and some of the changes would make playing golf more enjoyable.

So, what do you think? Does the author make a commanding argument for changing these seven rules of golf. Or, do you have other suggestions that would make golf more fun and equitable? Or, you think the rules are good just the way they are? Let us know what you are thinking!

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
