Is that for the seniors that are losing putting strokes as we age?   Wait...or the visually impaired?

The Players Edition doesn't contain all of the Rules.

The full "Rules of Golf" is 5.5 x 8.5" (half pages). The old Rules of Golf and the current Players Edition are 5.5 x 4.25" (quarter pages).

To be fair, the current Rules of Golf at 240 half sheet pages (compared to the old Rules of golf at 231 quarter sheet pages) has more illustrations, more whitespace, etc.

I think there are some simplifications, but the one that springs to mind doesn't make the game simpler for players, but rather for committees. That's the "penalty area" as opposed to water hazard. A w

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 133: 5/8/24 Extensive putting today with a LAB DF3 counterbalance putter. 38” and 70*. Putted great from short and mid-range. Misses I had were often to the right, but speed was good. I have never used a large, or extended grip in the past.

      Day 55. Felt a bit better today hitting balls into the net working on technique. Some work on basics like flow and backswing followed by hand path exit.

      Day 4:  I was not feeling the range or even up to swinging into the net in the garage.  So, today I just did some putting practice at home.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By collegefbfan ·

      Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.

      I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄
