Tides of Change:
The Evolution of the Rules of Golf
GOLF RULES
Golf; A game of 34 rules
but many variables
Although changes to the Rules of Golf are published every year the process of reviewing,
analyzing and considering these changes is completely continuous. The last published book of
the Rules of Golf came out in for the 2010-2011 seasons and was published separately by the
USGA and R&A. But, after spending the last four years exhaustively reviewing rules that have
caused issues in major championships the aforementioned governing bodies of golf have
collaborated on the first ever jointly designed, published and presented book on the Rules of
Golf. All in there have amendments to nine principal rules in order to provide improved
clarification and also to ensure that penalties are proportionate to the infraction. Significant
changes include:
Ball Moving After Address (Rule 18-2b)
A new exception is added which exonerates the player from penalty if their ball moves after it
has been addressed when it is known or virtually certain that they did not cause the ball to
move. For example, if it is a gust of wind that moves the ball after it has been addressed, there
is no penalty and the ball is played from its new position.
Ball in Hazard; Prohibited Actions (Rule 13-4)
Exception 2 to this Rule is amended to permit a player to smooth sand or soil in a hazard at
any time, including before playing from that hazard, provided it is for the sole purpose of
caring for the course and Rule 13-2 (improving lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of
play) is not breached.
GOLF RULES
To be continued…
Golf; A game of 34 rules
but many variables
Time of Starting (Rule 6-3a)
The rule is amended to provide that the penalty for starting late, but within five minutes of the
starting time, is reduced from disqualification to loss of the first hole in match play or two strokes
at the first hole in stroke play. Previously this penalty reduction could be introduced as a condition
of competition.
Does anyone remember last year’s open when Rory McIlroy was penalized when a gust of wind
blew his ball from its resting spot after he had soled his club? This rule allows for a more
equitable resolution for the player especially in competition.
The rules of the game are always evolving as the game presents new and challenging situations
much like a great leader in business. What makes golf so interesting and challenging is its myriad
of complexities. If you are knowledgeable about the rules of golf you will not only save a few
strokes off of your round but you will be able to play the game with honor. Here is to playing by
the rules in 2012!
SHESHAN GOLF SCHOOL Where passion fuels
better training
2012 marks the start of something very special for the junior members of Sheshan. Coming this
Spring, Sheshan Head Professional Cyrus Janssen will partner with Titleist to offer a new series
of junior training programs at Sheshan Golf Club.
Cyrus is a Titleist sponsored golf coach and travels regularly back home to his native country of
America to participate in Titliest’s Performance Institute (TPI) Training programs. TPI is the
largest organization in the world dedicated to improving golf games based on athletic and
physical training.
Based in California, TPI has spent the past 10 years developing the #1 Junior Training Program
in the world. TPI’s Junior Training Program is based on the philosophy of Long Term Athletic
Development (LTAD) teaching children to become athletes first and golfers second. This
training is very unique and has produced some of the best junior golfers in the world.
There is no secret why kids in America and Europe have more power and achieve faster
success in golf. They are trained in an athletic way allowing them to produce incredible speeds
that make the game of golf easier. This concept is unheard of in China, however starting in
2012 Sheshan Golf Club will offer the first and only TPI Junior Program in Mainland China!
Starting this March, Sheshan’s TPI Junior Program will be the ultimate way for your junior
golfer to learn golf in the most developed, proven successful way. We look forward to
welcoming your junior golfer into our new program and growing and expanding the games of
our junior golfers even more in 2012!
