This is because the inclusion of the handicap in the official submission of a player’s score will become a responsibility of the Committee. Golfers will no longer incur a penalty under the Rules of Golf for accidentally recording an incorrect Daily Handicap on their scorecard. It represents a return to the essence of the easy-to-apply, pre-2019 process, which was almost entirely free of inaccurate application by golfers at any level of the game. This change simplifies what had become a complex procedure that was regularly breached by golfers without them realising they had done so. This relief procedure, often used for penalty area and unplayable ball relief, has been simplified so the ball is now dropped on the line, and may roll up to one club-length in any direction without a re-drop being required. The New Year will also see a series of rule changes take effect that will apply to every golfer. Major changes include four new sub-rules for golfers with disability that permit an “approved person” to perform certain actions that would result in a penalty if performed by a non-approved person. The R&A and the United States Golf Association have inrtoduced some changes to the Rules of Golf which will take effect on January 2023.
