I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for people to ask, discuss and find answers to questions about the new rules.
I'm not sure of how many rules officials we have here but not only do we need to study the rules carefully, we also need to learn to find our ways around the new books. Answering people's questions is a good way to do that.
New with the 2019 Rules is a Player's Edition Rules book which leaves out points of Rules that aren't as important for the average player (like what your caddie can do), then the actual Rules Book and the Interpretations book which replaces the old Decisions book.
So feel free to shoot away and maybe I or somebody else can provide the answers.
The 2019 Rules, the same on the USGA site, USGA videos and R&A videos.
