New laws on putting – R&A and USGA ruling
Golf can be cruel at times… especially around the green in high winds..just ask Dustin Johnson who famously incurred a one shot penalty at last years US Open after his ball appeared to move before he putted.
The R&A and USGA have now moved to clarify the ruling so if the same situation occurs in the future then the outcome will be entirely different. This is all thanks to a new rule, which is now available for club committees to implement as well.
