Agreed but direction is commonly experienced. "It's coming from the right". When the wind is swirling no one can really give advice other than the direction is variable. 

Speed is a different matter. Players may/will have different perceptions of speed but it could be measured accurately and therefore be of more assistance.

Just an example, the 13th tee at my club is pretty sheltered, lots of swirling effect is felt at the tee.  I'll often tell players (after we've played to the par-3) that the "real" wind direction is what we experienced in more open territory on the 11th fairway.  Would that type of comment about wind direction NOT be considered advice under the new rules?  That's the way I read the new Definition of Advice.

Seems pretty definitive to me.

But advice does not include public information, such as:

  • Wind direction,

Would saying "It's a two club head wind" count as advice? It is not speed or distance but I would think it constitutes as advice.

Rules Of Golf Major Changes for 2022/2023

Is there really going to be an 18 club limit and 0.93 COR Drivers? 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Chet…

Golf Handicap Association is in charge of maintaining the core rules of golf. In 2021 we realized that golfers were unhappy with the game.

Golfers wanted:

  1. Golf To Be More Enjoyable
  2. Technology and Club Improvements which have been stagnant in recent years due to rules restrictions
  3. Faster Rounds as playing felt slow and
  4. Equal access to information without having to reach a certain level of play or be able to hire a professional caddie.

The 2023 Major Changes for the rules of golf which are included in this version of the Rules Of Golf by the GHA has addressed many of these issues and includes changes to the game of golf that haven’t been seen in over a hundred years. a hundred years.

They're clearly (IMO) the rules for whatever the hell the "GHA" is.

And if that wasn't enough, on the home page…

So, this is not like a "real" thing then? 
Because personally I hate most of these quote, unquote rules.

Of course not. The GHA, whatever they are, are not the USGA or R&A.

These are just made up rules for their group.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
