You can go to www.usga.org and read about all the proposed changes to the rules. These changes will be reviewed until they are finalized just before they go into effect January 1, 2019. You can go to https://www.snapsurveys.com/wh/s.asp?k=148674720575 and take a survey on the proposed rules and you will be able to express your opinions on the changes. We have implemented a local rule allowed since Jan. 1 of this year. The rule reads as follows: "Rules 18-2, 18-3 and 20-1 are modified as follows: When a player's ball lies on the putting green, there is no penalty if the ball or ball-marker is accidentally moved by the player, his partner, his opponent, or any of their caddies or equipment. The moved ball or ball- marker must be replaced as provided in Rules 18-2, 18-3 and 20-1. This Local Rule applies only when the player's ball or ball-marker lies on the putting green and any movement is accidental. Note: If it is determined that a player's ball on the putting green was moved as a result of wind, water or some other natural cause such as the effects of gravity, the ball must be played as it lies from its new location. A ball- marker moved in such circumstances is replaced."
